Dance Recital

Kate had her first dance recital last Thursday. It was fantastic! She's been taking "Tots 'N' Tights" for several months, but we didn't know what she'd do during the actual recital. As you can see in the video below, she did great. Her teacher, Miss Heidi, has infinite patience and love for the girls under her tutelage. What a joy it was to see our little girl doing her own thing for the first time. It's something I'll never forget! And thanks so much to Gram and Pops Luminati who were here to enjoy the show and entertain Ellie. I'll post more about their visit soon, but this is all about the recital. Great job, Kathryn!!

from Grandpa Tom:

Thanks so much for putting up this video. It made us believe we were a little closer to the big event than we possibly could have felt without. You are treasuring these moments, and they indeed are treasures for a lifetime.

Hello to all, I sure am having trouble getting comments to show up. m I must be doing something wrong. We cannot tell you what a deep joy and what fun it was to see Kate participate in her recital! Her own sweet personality shown through and each moment was darling, even her 2 trips to the edge of the stage and then quickly going back to find her spot and pick up where she left off. Being a part of this was a thrill. We loved every moment of our visit! Love, G+P
