Well, Ella completed her first year of dance. Her recital was last weekend. She was uber excited. Honey, Boppa, MeMe, PaPa and our sweet friends, the Mayer's all came to watch and support her. She was thrilled that everyone could be here to share her special night. She did an amazing job and was most nervous that her lipstick had come off after she drank some water. I assured her it was fine, but that I had more and we could re-apply...which we did!

I've seen her on stage and in the spot light three times in four weeks. She has graduated from preschool, performed a solo, danced in front of hundreds of people at the Civic Center and performed songs and dances from VBS on family night. At, the age of five, I couldn't have done it. She's so comfortable, it's natural for her and she OWNS it, everytime. I could be biased because she's mine, but, really she's not. The Lord entrusted her to us and she belongs to Him. So I can't take responsibility for her successes and the things that make her outstanding. He has given her some great gifts, I'm on the edge of my seat to see how He calls her to use them!
