Concentration

Every week I look forward to watching Sweet-Pea out on the ice during her skating lesson. I either sit in the bleachers with Lionel (while he reads or does school work), or I stand by the side of the rink...usually always with camera in hand.

Today I didn't get very many good shots...but I managed to get a couple decent ones. It's not easy taking clear photos of a moving object! Anyhow...I love the concentration on her face in this photo:



She's been working on a couple new moves which have been very challenging for her. Remember, she's only been taking lessons for 1 year, so she's not an advanced skater, but she's overcome many obstacles already. Just today, her coach told me that she's progressing far better than others who started lessons before age 7 like she did. We are very proud of her and all her hard work. Lord willing, one day she'll be able to get out there and do some really cool jumps and spins. For now...these simple photos of her working hard at what she can do, are proof as to how far she's come already.

Can't wait 'til next Tuesday when we go back to the rink!
