Sweet Sage

Getting Ready Backstage

Every time I watch this video I laugh because you can see how tired she was that day.  If you know Sage, you can imagine the enthusiasm she usually has when performing.  I love that about her.   It had been a long day for her, rehearsing, and then waiting her turn to perform.  I was crossing my fingers she'd keep it together.  Luckily she did.  Great job Sage!

She loved dancing on the big stage and with her friend Avaree, but when I asked her if she wanted to do it again, she fell to the ground in tears.  

Thanks for coming Grandma!

When it was over it was over.  She just didn't have it in her to pose for one more picture with Avaree.

It took about one whole minute for her to fall asleep on the way home.  

Sweet dreams little dancer.

 

My boy is all grown up!

Last week Seth walked into our room with this picture in his hands.  He said, "I don't like this picture anymore," and he set it down and walked out.  Rick and I cracked up.  He must have started feeling all grown up when he realized his 7th birthday would soon be here.  I guess this picture is too "babyish," as he puts it.  

All Seth has wanted for his birthday was a bow and arrow.  (He used to call it a 'bone and arrow', I love that).  He was more than thrilled when he opened his presents yesterday and found one.  This morning he ran into my room to tell me he hit the target right in the bulls eye.  The smile on his face was priceless.   I guess "my baby is all growns up, and he's growns up, and he's growns up."
