we're wishing for warmer weather & counting down to spring break! 2020 is swiftly passing already. the basketball season wrapped up for lucy & jon, theatre in the park auditions are this weekend, and the lenten journey begins on wednesday. a change of season is welcome here!

bb walking uncle matt & aunt laura's dog with meme while the big girls dance. as they say, it takes a village & we couldn't do these long studio evenings without the continuous help of our meme!


treasures found in lucy's room-



eloise got to join her sweet friend rylie at the swan lake ballet, and after a month of reading the book every night at bedtime, she really had a magical afternoon with friends-




a full-circle photo- lucy attended an audition workshop with barb & krista, who i've known for over 20 years. they were there the night i met jon, krista sang in our wedding... brilliant, strong, talented women.


3 weeks until lucy and the disney troupe perform at disney world for st. patrick's day- we're all excited for this trip!



1st grade field trip-



awesome season that lucy doesn't want to end!







happy birthday to lucy's dear friend amelia!


kait in NINE! lucy's longest friendship-




fingers crossed for auditioner number 8 <3
