Sarah's 1st Dance Recital

June 5th was Sarah's dance recital. She had been in dance since September, going once a week the entire time, so we were all excited. Her dance studio holds the recital at Westlake High School's Performing Arts Center, which rivals some city center's, I'm sure. There were some jitters and threats of not performing, but in the end, Sarah did great, and Kevin and I couldn't be more proud.

The mayhem backstage. Actually, there were multiple areas
where kids were getting ready. Our area was pretty calm
compared to some of the others we saw.

This pic is from the dress rehearsal. I'd post the video, but it's too big.

Sarah and me before the real thing. Their stage mom brought all kinds
of things to keep the kids occupied backstage - great job!

Unfortunately, this is the only photo I have from my
mom's birthday lunch. I'll just have to tell you -
we all had a really nice time!
