This story behind the story... Marla did not say but what may have prompted such a wonderful post, is and Amy you know. Well, Emily wanted to do a 'photos' for her music teacher at school. Well Emily brought in her photos and I was to pick them up and make a something of them but due to the short time Emily wasn't going to be able to give the present to her until after school. I know it is much more important to do it during school so everyone may enjoy the surprise. So last night at dance, we picked up the pics, went home, made a dvd photo slideshow and Dough and Emily picked it up at later around 9:30pm. Emily picked out the music, had the photos and it was a pleasure to do this for her. Emily, her music teacher, all the kids at school may see this and enjoy it today because today is the last day of school!

Gotta tell you guys...

There is simply no greater pleasure than to see you at dance! The social time is perfect. To see the dancers all talking and smiling. To see their families come to pick them up and wave and sometimes talk a little. I love each and every minute of it!

See Charisse, you didn't have to wait too long ;)

A little blurry but here is Miss Courtney (far left), Jessica and Miranda! (click pic for larger image. Photo by Brian Ginn.)

You've got to see this!

From last years, dvd comes Mara and Miranda! How I got this is unreal. I was working, testing some software to extract video to iPods and used this DVD as a test and it worked! So, I further extract for you here on the web as a picture! Okay, now go to your bookshelf and pull out the dvd and watch it. It's only 12 minutes long but oh so good! You know you want too. :) (click pic for larger image. Photo extracted from the video 'The Spectrum 5/14/2005" by Brian Ginn.)

I would like to share this story with our Connie's family so the power of prayers can be felt by this boy and his family. Chad Pierce is 15 years old and will be turning 16 next month. He is a freshman at DeSales High School. He lives in our subdivision and use to play with Danielle when they were little. He was diagnosed last Saturday with Leukemia. They are unable to start chemo at this time because his body is "eaten up" with infection and he has pneumonia. They have put him in isolation and he is in a drug-induced coma. I was told by a neighbor that his Leukemia is very treatable but until the infection is under control and they build his immune system back up, they cannot begin chemo. Please remember him and his family in your prayers as they begin this long journey ahead of them. The power of prayer is greater than any of us and I felt it was the least I could do for this boy and his family.

Thank you. Laura Cundiff and Danielle.

Jordan was so excited he couldn't even wait for the scenes to be over to start clapping, and Rachel you must have inspired him, last night he was bowing like he was in the play and I said " Would you like to be in a play like that and he said yeah, i might." and I was like YEAH!!!!!! You go girl, I can't wait to watch you on Broadway, I am sure I will be making frequent trips to New York to watch you and several others here at Connie's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ORBS

I want to apologize for not thoroughly reading some posts back in April. It was brought to my attention that there were some suspicious "things" in some pics taken at Memorial Auditorium.
In one, I am certain that it is dust particles.
In the other (Picture Perfect), I have forwarded that photo to our SIGHT president for her personal opinion. I know what mine are, but want to confirm them with her, and will let you know when I hear from her.

Personally, I would love for them to be orbs. :)

I am glad someone is going to clarify these. I thought it was just the light, but I wasn't sure. I am with Amy, I can't wait to find out

Holly, as I look at these well-wish pictures, I can't help but to think of you. You're great. I love seeing all those older pics from a few years ago at Barnstable-Brown. I lost tons of pics I've taken in the past but smile each time I see you, Jessica and everyone together, happy in the ones I still have.

The Day Comes to a Close!

They all look a little tired.....you should see their parents.

Just want to say thank you to Ms. Carrie for getting our girls to where they needed to be, we really appreciated it. Thank you to Allison (Amy's sister), she helped out a great deal with everything. And last but not least, Amy, I know you spend hours getting these costumes together just to make our girls look great. THANK YOU! I really appreciate it. It's 12:20 a.m. Happy Mothers Day! I am going to bed.
