Moving Day

   This is just a quick update on our family.  We have rented an apartment in Springfield, Ohio, and the moving company comes tomorrow to pack our house and move us there.  We have had very few people look at our house so far, so it looks like it may be some time before it sells.  The apartment will be our temporary home until we can sell our house and buy a new one in Ohio.  Here is the address and phone number.  (It is now Friday night Feb 3 and we are moved in, although we can hardly walk through all the boxes.)

Just a couple of photos of Elaine. There are lots more on my facebook page and on Plano Metropolitan Ballet's facebook page (I am in charge of that one, too). I had to add about $40 worth of crystals and beads to the dress so she was more "sparkly" on stage. You can't tell from the photos, but it did work. I'm thinking she needs a few more on the sleeves, though.
She got an extra solo in her two performances this weekend because the Prince was sick and didn't think he could do the one fast sequence with her. I understand he was backstage throwing up between scenes. Not good, but "The Show Must Go On!"
We also had one of the Princesses miss opening night because she had a concussion. She still danced on Saturday, but very cautiously!
Wish you could all be here to see it. Elaine's dancing has improved so much and she is dancing so beautifully! (she won't like the top photo, because she said she was too close to the prince and therefore couldn't get her leg up as high as normal.)
