What a beautiful and fun case for the show: Bye Bye Birdie



Our little love, Lily, did such a fantastic job in her play.  She just shines when she is on stage.  We sure love watching her enjoy her passions.  

I will always be so thankful for her loving drama teacher, Mrs. Hacking.  Lily was so nervous about trying out for the show early on.  On the day of try outs - she came home and went straight to her room because she was so sad that she bombed her try out.  I just hugged her so tight and told her that is just what happens sometimes.  She asked me if she could email her drama teacher for a re-do.  I told she sure could, but she just had to be prepared if her said "no" since you usually have 1 chance to try out.

Fortunately, her sweet teacher gave her another chance to prove herself.  She came home beaming and feeling so proud of herself that she did so much better.

She didn't get a main character part - but she absolutely loved being in the ensemble group.  She danced and sang and had so much fun with this drama group.  We are so proud of her!
















We were so thrilled that both sets of grandparents were able to attend her final performance.  So Special!

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
