Little Gymnast

Today's recital ended Grace's first year of gymnastics. She spent the last several months learning vault, beam, bar, trampoline, and floor routines to show off to friends and family. My little gymnast did pretty well, especially considering that this is the first solo "performance" she's ever done sans a group around her (like church choir, etc.) Grace earned two second place and three fourth place finishes in her ability group!

Here are the limited pictures I was able to get. The lighting in the gym was terrible, so the only good shots of her are ones taken at home.

Way to go, sweet Grace! You were so brave, and you did your best! We are so thankful to call you ours.
