What Have We Been Up Too?

Well- the last time I added a post to my blog was in March. Yikes! We have had many things to keep us busy and that left me no time to blog. It is good to be back. Since March we have been involved with three theatrical productions and a ballet recital. The beginning of April we were involved in our local Christian Theater groups production of The First Martyr- an original musical about the babies that Herod ordered to be killed at the time of Jesus' birth. The day after that show ended, our local ballet company moved into the theater to preform a ballet of Alice and Wonderland. We had a brief period of rest in May and then came June. We started the month with Abi's ballet recital and ended with our local community theater groups production of The Wizard of Oz. Dan had an acting part and sang in the choir, Abigail was a munchkin and danced in the Jitterbug scene. Our oldest daughter was the choreographer for many of the dances and I was the head of the props department. It was a wonderful opportunity and we all had a great time. I have added some of my favorite pictures from the show.
