Allie's Dance Recital





Phew! The recital was a great success and Allie had a wonderful time. This was her second year of dance at Nicole's School of Dance. It is the most popular dance studio in our town. Nicole and her crew have about 500 girls in classes throughout the week. She split the groups up into three recitals but Allie's recital was still over three hours long! Only about 10 minutes of that was our little Allie girl! She was in tap, ballet, and jazz. Pampa and Grandma came from Michigan to see her recital along with the rest of us. This was especially important to me since my brothers and my dad never came to any of my recitals. The boys did a fabulous job being the supportive brothers and each gave Allie a carnation. Unfortunately Jake's allergies were acting up and he didn't feel the greatest but he still sat through the whole thing. He especially liked the boys that danced. He thought it was pretty cool, although he said he'd never do it....and that's O.k.! There was a lot of talent there last night. Allie continues to amaze me that she is never nervous to be on stage! She had missed six weeks of class due to her collar bone injury so I was nervous that she might feel a little bit lost compared to the other girls.

I just updated myself on your blog. Sounds like everything is going great! I'm so glad Allie's collar bone healed so well! I can't believe a child of yours is already taller than you! Philip is getting there. Scary, huh? Wow! Congratulations on the new job! Chat with you soon.
Love, Tracee
