Competition Results!

Well we made it back from the beach, unfortunately. Wish we could have just stayed from then on. But we had a great time and loved every wonderful second with my baby girl. Thursday at competition the girls won 2 Platinum Awards, and a 3rd place for Little Shop of Horrors (jazz) and a 5th place for I've got the music in me (clogging) we were shocked by that, but one of the judges really liked movie and show tunes. Imagine that? Kylan got to go get the awards and she enjoyed that because she got to talk on the microphone and say her name and what studio she was with, she did a super job!
The rest of our trip was spent playing at the beach, the pool, shopping, eating seafood, and visiting a carnival that was at Pier Park. Kylan played on the beach with Darcy(11), Chloe(10), and Amber(9) every day and that was really fun for her. They are all older and in the next class up so she she thought she was something special because she was playing with the big girls! It's funny how the little things matter to them so much. We had fun but we are glad we have a break from dance for a while, you need some down time to be away and enjoy the summer.
The next big thing on our calendar is Kylan's 7th birthday tomorrow! It is hard to believe she has been here that long. I can remember it like yesterday the day she arrived. It was by far the best day of my life and I cherish her everyday. You know what people say is true, after children have been here long enough you forget what you used to do for fun, and what your life was like before you had them. It is so true! I don't really remember a ton about my life before her, granted I remember big events, trips, special occasions and so on, but actual day to day life is all a blurr......... Thank Heaven for Little Girls!
