Meg was in a production of The Wizard of Oz this past weekend.  She was a Munchkin counsel-woman with a line all her own!  She tried out and has been working with PowerHouse of SEO since August and as a mom I must say I was really impressed with this production.  Not only did Meg learn a lot about theater, but she ENJOYED it immensely!  Meg is very serious and wants to do things right. She has never enjoyed her dance recitals and always looked as if she were in pain while on stage.  This is not so with acting. She did a great job and had so much fun that she wants to do it again and so do her little sisters!

Meg went through more make-up in 5 days then I have in 5 years!

She really got into her part.

What a natural!

The last two weeks have made for a busy time for our family, and I haven’t had much time to blog, clean or do anything else.  I have no regrets though and these pictures will show how great a time we had with this production!  As I write this now, Elle is singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow.  I love it!

Meg

My baby, my first born, turned ten on Saturday.  This past year I have been dreading this birthday and didn’t approach it with my normal birthday pizazz and preparation. When the magical day arrived I met it with an unexpected attitude.  While I had been prepared for being sentimental and a little sad (and I did get a bit sappy) I mostly felt immense pride in my girl.  I admire her for her confidence, her kindness and her attitude in life.  She reminds me a lot of Hubby, in that she doesn’t put things off, she works hard and plays hard.  She is easy to laugh, fun to be with and knows her own mind.

Ten years ago when I became a mom I had such plans and strategies to raise her into being a compassionate and amazing child.  My plans  have met a few curve balls and I have learned far more from her than she has from me.  I am enjoying watching her become who God wants her to be and it is such a delight to be her mom.  She has really grown into herself the last few months and it is a privilege to watch.

Age 2

Just in case Meg is reading this I must point out that while she is really amazing, she is not perfect and she will not get more allowance or a cell phone any time soon

I just had to share this picture with everyone.  The other day, Meg made me a breakfast of cheese, grapes and oranges in the shape of a face.  Really sweet and yummy.

This is the second photo I have posted of one of my girls giving me food.  Please don’t think all I do is eat!
