Na Na Na Na...Hey Hey Hey...Goodbye

Last night was the dance recital for Today's Generation. Every year it amazes me how the directors get all these groups together, perform three shows and it all goes smoothly (well at least from the audiences perspective)! Last night was especially poignant for Ron and I, as it was Lindsay's last time dancing on stage with this group. But we are so glad that McKenna is still dancing! We love watching how she has grown and seeing her confidence on stage. She is becoming a beautiful girl and promising dancer and we are SO proud of her. We are looking forward to many more years of dance and BLOGS!

This whole dance thing began when Lindsay was 4, I put her in a ballet class in Concord, CA and she LOVED being a "pony" at the end of class, forget about all that other ballet type stuff, she waited for free time!

We moved to Moses Lake when she was 6 and put her and McKenna in the local dance company. Throughout the years changes have occurred, the dance company evolved into TG, we moved to Montana for 2 years, came back...but basically Lindsay has danced with the same core group of girls all her life. We absolutely love all these girls, we have been so lucky to have ended up here with the directors we have that while keeping a stern hand, love them all, so a special thanks to Peggy, Lori and Janet!

Watching the "Good bye" dance and slideshow of the 3 seniors that are moving on was hard and yes I blubbered like a baby at all 3 shows (and still while I type). But these girls have a new and exciting life ahead of them and I'm looking forward to seeing all that they become.

Good Luck Lindsay, Ashley and Lilly! We are all PROUD of you!

  1. OK now that is a post! I love love love your daughters! They were awesome yesterday and Lindsay will be so missed. It is always fun to move on in life, but she will always miss this part. I am excited to see what Lindsay does with her life. I wish he the very best!

  2. We were so sad when you moved away and so happy when you moved back. It has been quite a ride and Lindsay will surely be missed! We are glad that we still have McKenna who looks so much like Lindsay it's like getting a replacement! Love your girls (and Danny too)!
