"dancing on stage"

Kate's first dance recital was this spring. We were so proud of her! It wasn't a given that she'd actually make it on stage; she was a little nervous. So we arrived to the theater early, and she picked which seats she wanted us to sit in so she'd know exactly where we were. Sure enough, as soon as she tip-toed into the room, she looked to make sure we were there--Mommy, Daddy, Sam, Benjamin, Nanny, Pops and Nan-Nan. And we were, cheering her on. She danced beautifully!
Kate's fellow "ballawinas" were so adorable. They were flowers blooming in the springtime. Kate, of course, loves, loves, loves her costume and already has big plans for Halloween.
