1st Dance Recital

Sydney started taking dance class in February. It is a tap and ballet class at Rising Star Dance Academy. Her 1st dance recital was on June 20th. It was a tap number to the Mickey Mouse March. All of the girls were so adorable!!! Lots of family came to see her 2 minute routine :)! She had 16 guest. Wow! Some family members drove a couple hours to see her and then came back to our house for a rained-out cookout. We hung-out in the kitchen for most of the afternoon. It was a fun day. Thank you!

We are so proud of Sydney.... at the young age of 3 she is well composed and sweet as can be.

We weren't allowed to take pictures or video during the actual recital. Once I have a copy of the professional DVD that the dance company produces, I will post a video of her performance.

Union Street Blues @ Chesapeake Inn in Chesapeake City MD

Buddy's band, Union Street Blues http://www.unionstreetblues.com/, played on the waterfront at the Chesapeake Inn on Wednesday night. We had the best time.... We met Aunt Linda, John, Tony & Velia for dinner. Sandy was there with some friends Dan & Garie as well as Darius from Bechtel and his wife (wish I had a pic of them to share, but I don't). What a beautiful day... the weather was perfect.. it was a great casual atmosphere for the girls who were able to get up & run around a little. Aunt Linda brought them lots of presents to entertain them throughout the night. Sophia loved the band... she was crying because we wouldn't let her get on stage to play the drums. John stepped in to play bass guitar with the band (that was cool!). We left after dark... they zonked-out on the drive home.
