It’s A Hard Knock Life….

Last week was Show Week.† Which means this week I am still moving slowly.† Kei loves Show Week.† I barely survive it. 🙂 This time my backstage job was to keep 12 7-11 year old girls completely quiet for about 35 minutes.† M&M’s may or may not have been included as bribes gifts.

Kei did amazing.† She was a maid and I was a little concerned at first because she was by far the youngest Maid.† And they danced, a lot.† And several of the girls had taken dance since they were like 6 months old!† But she did great and loved every minute of it.

We had so many people come and support her.† We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.† Several pictures I took just didn’t come out but here are some of my favorites.

Another amazing experience.† It only took me 4 days to recuperate!

Practice starts Thursday for the NEXT PLAY.† It is a VERY EXCITING part for Kei.† More about that later. 😉

Happy August,

  1. I love to see her performance pictures. She radiates joy. The girls and I wish we could view it in person! This is an amazing production company. How do they get the funding to produce so many plays? Those are fortunate kids to have so many experiences back to back. Tired Mamas for sure…but you are giving her such a gift.

  2. I love ALL this, Karen. The energy of those photos! So much joy! And I love all the friends who came to watchówhat a beautiful community you have surrounding you, Karen. It’s just so heartwarming to see.

    Please say a big “Congratulations!” to Kei for me: she is an inspiration!

    I hope you get a good break over the next 4 days, and that you both get LOTS of R & R.

    Love to you both! 🙂

  3. Oh it looks like so much fun!!! yay!!! I love all of the photos.

    What a wonderful experience this must be for Kei! She is so lucky to have a mom like you to schlep her to rehearsals and such. Schlep sounds very New Yawk doesn’t it?? lol…
