Kalie's final dance competition of the season was this past weekend. Her lyrical solo was to the song "Come to Jesus." She has practiced every night on it and I can honestly say that we have never seen her dance it as full of grace and expression as she did Saturday. She received a gold medal but the best award was watching her feel good about her performance and not really being that interested in what the scores were. She knew she had done well because of how she felt about it, not because someone else thought so. I love this picture of her.
So why the name Untitled Post for this blog? Well, because about 4:45 AM Saturday, we received a phone call. We were staying at our friends home while my parents, sisters and family were at a hotel. My dad called to tell us that my mom was in SURGERY for an emergency appendectomy. We did not even know she was hurting! We chose not to tell Kalie before she danced. After her solo, we went to the hospital and visited. She came through surgery well and we are so thankful she is okay. She was discharged Saturday night and got home fine. What a weekend!
All of us with my mom. Anymore penguins or motocycles mom???
The show must go on! All group dances took gold as well. Kalie and Eloise did their duet as the final number and were tickled pink once again with their performance. They did great and scored gold as well!
and Karlee and Emma
