Pictured above, pictures from my niece’s ballet recital this weekend. She wa adorable in her tutu. I loved that when she saw me she yelled JEN JEN! in front of the entire audience. (For the record, Leif and Skye call me Jen-Jen, since an appropriate aunt title is lacking in Japanese). Nicole wanted me to do an entire post on the essence of one of these pictures. Wonder if anyone can guess which one.... and why. If you do, then you just figured out what I can’t write about. Who doesn’t love a good esoteric mystery?
And I MUST make a mental note to ALWAYS stand behind Nicole in pictures. My head looks like something in the Thanksgiving Day parade next to her tiny oval face. Seriously, I need to be set back like 50 feet.

Great meme. I'm now hungry for kettle corn and chocolate pudding. DAMN !
Is it your fear of tulle? Is that why your girlhood dream of a career in the ballet was dashed? Is that why the older woman is holding Skye so far away from you, proximity to the tulle?
Esoteric mysteries are so taxing on the brain.
I'm calling phantom post/unbloggable on photo #1.
Snow caps. mmmm. In the fridge? Must try.
I had a roommate swear to me that the BEST thing in the world was to put york peppermint patties in the freezer as a summer time treat. It was the cruelest joke ever. For frozen peppermint patties are uneatable.
& shut up- you look GREAT in those photos.
xo
I sent you an e-mail about my guess, because if I'm right, I don't want to post your "bizness" for the world to see.
But yeah, you do look fierce, and I SO didn't notice the head thing until you pointed it out.
Is it that your mom (I am guess that is your mom) is standing so far away from everyone else and giving you a "look"?

That women (your mom?)looks very much like your sil. Their coloring is different, but their face shapes and expressions are very similar.
Is this women in fact sil's mother who doesn't quite connect with you, Nicole and your girls?
