Congrats to Adleigh on her first meet of the season. She moved up to Silver this year and the competition is stiff! She placed 6th on beam and bars and was 9th overall. Congratulations, Adleigh!

Mike, Liberty, and Adleigh again took to the stage to tell the beautiful story of a Christmas Carol and the magic of having love in your heart.

I am so proud of Liberty for working through anxiety and stretching herself, of Adleigh for expressing her heart and for being a good sister to Liberty and the two more girls she has gained along to way (Tessa and Kora) and of Mike for giving so freely of his time to his girls. What a gift!

It’s a family affair as always—thanks to Canton and friends for ushering as I helped backstage.

Thankful for the blessing of this supportive, hilarious, bright, kind, loving family! Wishing you and yours all the best!

A day off and a kid that is never home being home, means the tree goes up!

Enjoy the season!

The flamingo makes a return and check out the Statue of Liberty!

Soooooo proud of Canton and JHS Theatre! This weekend was the Virginia Theatre Association conference where JHS competed against 34 other schools to see who represents Virginia at the Southeastern Theatre Conference in March. Jamestown presented their Harvey Stone Original Play “Mother of Exiles”. Canton plays Joseph Pulitzer, who was vital to securing the funding for the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. The place centers on the “ colossus” poem on the Statue of Liberty written by Emma Lazarus.

Canton placed second in Musical Theatre Solo and won the All Star Cast Award! He continues to shine and excel and we just love him so!

Headed to SETC in March!

You are 10!!

I woke you up this morning singing to you and you said “morning mama, I wish I could sleep in.” You must have been tired from all the celebration because you are always ready to rise and face the day!

Thanks Pap for always remembering!

Tomorrow we will have a 10 year old!

Adleigh FaceTimed with Poppy, Grandma, and Beth. She loved getting Dr Plague and her others gifts. We also got to FaceTime with Rhonda and Nanny. She got tons of new silky pjs, books, and is excited about her new sheets. Thanks to everyone for spending some time with her today!
