More summer memories to recall & smile...school is approaching fast & furious! Teacher postcards were in the mail today and we were THRILLED with the teachers all 3 of the kiddos will be having! Annie will be in 2nd grade & Jack will be starting KINDERGARTEN!!! next Monday. Sam is chompin' at the bit to go to school & wants a backpack, a lunchbox, supplies...but he'll just be going to preschool Tuesdays/Thursdays from 8:45-11:45 and doesn't start till after Labor Day. So fun to see him sooo excited though!
Annie completed her 4th year of dance the beginning of June & performed beautifully at her Spring Recital. Her dance school puts on quite a production at a HUGE theater downtown, so just to get there, two days in a row for both the rehearsal & the actual show itself takes a lot of planning. Once you see them on stage looking oh so fabulous, it is well worth it! She loves performing!! I took dance for 15 years & would STILL take if I could fit it into my schedule...I love, love to dance so watching her especially makes my heart swell!
Putting the finishing touches on her hair & fastening in that hat! We did NOT want it flying off in the middle of the routine!
Quick snapshots outside on the riverwalk...this costume was such an eye catcher!
Her tap routine was choreographed to "Hit the Road, Jack"...the costume fit it perfectly!
Ballet was HER favorite this year...she LOVED the costume when she first tried it on. It really made her look like a prima ballerina!
This dance was performed to the song, "Let's Go to the Movies" from the movie, ANNIE!!
Annie is SO VERY LUCKY in that she has her very own makeup artist do her up every year...Aunt Lindsey!! Mama could never do as good a job, so we always make sure she's got her calendar marked to help us!
Annie and her adoring fans...what a cheering section! She was feelin' the love...
Proud mama & daddy!
After the show, we headed to Mi Tierra downtown in the market for some YUM-MO Mexican food! It was a perfect ending to a great day...
Cheers to a year of hard work & a beautiful job well done!
