A couple of Friday's ago.. #3 and I went in search of some pointe shoes.  This journey really started 10 years ago when I took her to her first dance class. She loved it… and would always talk about the day she would get her pointe shoes… that day has finally come.

On pointe for the first time!

She tried on maybe 5 pairs of shoes before she found the ones that didn't hurt.

I thought that the little ribbon things were already sewn in the shoes…

They aren't.. I was hoping I could get my sewing machine to do it.. but I couldn't get the

machine to fit in there like I needed it too..  So we did it by hand.
