So sorry to leave you hanging on the outcome of the big dance recital   I’m sure you were just on pins and needles these past few days weren’t you?  My posting has been a bit sporadic as I am trying to come out of my post weekend stupor brought on by a dance recital, 2 soccer games, 3 photography sessions, teaching Sunday school, our church service, and our Sunday night Bible study.  Throw in a 5 year old that was too jazzed up to sleep after her stellar performance and you’ve got one tired mama!

But for those who’ve been wondering…Ms. Middle stole the show (for us at least)!  She didn’t miss a beat and she actually LOOKED at the audience (some of the time).  She was SO “noy-vous” when I dropped her off backstage I wasn’t sure I was going to actually get to sit in the audience.  But she overcame her fear and finally decided that playing backstage with her friends sounded pretty fun.  It was such a fun night for our family celebrating her accomplishments.  Dancing is the only “thing” that is ALL hers.  And she was our little shining star.

Miss A made us proud this weekend too tearing it up on the soccer field.  For a kid who runs like Phoebe it is amazing how she has caught onto this game.  She is a goal scoring machine!  Love this shot of her revvin’ up for some fancy footwork…and she dribbled it right past those girls and into the goal!

The activities are winding down and we are gearing up for a summer of lazy backyard fun.  Doesn’t that sound heavenly?
