San Elijo Dance and Music Academy Recital

Amidst all of the craziness that is our life right now, we had Brynn and Abby's ballet recital last week. It was beautiful! Abby did a cute ballet pieces called "Alewander." Brynn has danced with the conservatory program at San Elijo and did a number called "Petite Symphony" as well as a conservatory finale with all of the conservatory dancers age 8-18. She also did a number called, "Sea of Love" and "He Lives in You" with her Lyrical Company. All of the numbers were amazing! We enjoyed it so much.

Mom and Dad came down for the week to watch the girls and help with the boys while I was with the girls at rehearsals and backstage. Joseph flew in on Tuesday night and stayed until Thursday morning. It was so nice to have him here after being gone for about 2 1/2 -3 weeks. I realize that my happiness is up to me, but I must say that my joy is full when he is around. I can't wait to be all together again!

We are very grateful for the friendships we made through dance. We met some great people and learned lessons from so many of them. We will really miss San Elijo Dance and Music. Because of the opportunities we were invited to be part of, it felt like a family. We will cherish and miss those friendships. I started to cry as we walked away from the theater on the final night. Everywhere we've lived we've really tried to invest our whole selves and because of that, it's always difficult to leave.
