Closing night

Tonight was closing night for this gorgeous girl of ours. There was a whole lot of
emotion from the cast as the play ended, they really had given it everything and worked
their hardest for so many months. I'm so proud of Annie for being a part of it.

She could have gotten loads more sleep, had hours more time each day for homework and
many more of her days and evenings free for fun, but she chose the play instead. And it
changed her. I love when my kids do hard things, especially that they love so much.

We sure adore this Annie. She is tremendous in every way.
And that most definitely includes being on stage.
