Ballet Observation Day

Ballet Observation Day at the Cincinnati Ballet Academy is something we all look forward to with great anticipation since the girls classes are behind closed doors each week. There's really nothing sweeter than a room full of little pink ballerinas! Here are some photos and videos from this semester's parent observation.

The First (Crazy Early) Snow

Autumn gave way to Winter well before the calendar made it official this year. We had a whacko-early snowfall that broke a nearly 100 year old record for accumulating snow so early in the season. The girls were SOOO excited to wake up to a snowy day. They had a two-hour delayed start to school which meant we quickly transitioned from enjoying the beauty of fallen snow in the sunrise to bundling up and spending as much of that two hour doing what you do on snowy days - sledding, drinking hot cocoa and throwing snow balls. Here are the highlights!




When Seasons Collide

Yes, this did mean raking leaves and shoveling snow the same weekend
