~ Kizi's dance performance

This was Kizi's 4th year of dance lessons and performing at the Elsinore Theater. She had a great time with Irish last year, but decided to do ballet this year. 
Photos above were at the dress rehearsal at the studio;

I was a stage helper again... always fun to sit with the girls and help line them up and get them into place for their performance!
Jonathan's second cousin Melanie, her husband Jason and their children Josh and Aliya came down for Memorial Day weekend and so were able to enjoy the performance with us, and we were glad to have Grandma there with us too of course.

beautiful...

The world has enough women who are tough;
we need women who are tender.
There are enough women who are coarse;
we need women who are kind.
There are enough women who are rude;
we need women who are refined.
We have enough women of fame and fortune;
we need more women of faith.
We have enough of greed;
we need more goodness.
We have enough of vanity;
we need more virtue.
We have enough popularity;
we need more purity.
