Gigi's Recital

I'm late on posting about this, but life is very hectic right now & I'm playing "catch up" on many things!

The recital took place on June 21st at 1:00 p.m.  We were so excited!  The two previous shows in which Gigi was involved were so beautifully done.  We couldn't wait to see her on stage again.

Getting her ready was the hardest part since my left hand isn't working and my right eye is still intensely blurred.  Her dance studio is very picky about hair & make-up, but with God's help & a whole lot of hair gel I managed to get her extremely long hair up into a perfect bun.  Then I began putting on her stage make-up.  To say that she dislikes the long lasting lipstick would be an understatement!  (Like mother, like daughter in that area...only for me it's lipstick in general!)

Gigi's dance was in the second half of the show.  She was Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary.  She did such a beautiful job!  I was so very proud of her!!!  She gets on that stage & brings to life the character she is portraying.  It was beautifully choreographed as well.  I could really see the advancement she has made this year in her ballet training.  The other little girls in her class did a good job as well.

Her Daddy presented her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers which she immediately put into a vase & placed upon her dresser.  She said she wanted to go to sleep each night seeing something beautiful.  As I gazed at her sleeping that night I thought to myself, "Me too."

Well done Gigi! And she looks beautiful! Praying that your eye and hand are improving? Wish I'd been there to help! (((HUGS))) and to see that little darling dance!

Don't worry about catching up on Dh's recent 'holiday'. I knew if you weren't around blogland you must have not been doing too well! Thank you for the prayers. It was certainly scary on Sunday night.

Gigi looks lovely mama, so thankful the recital went well-she is very talented, like her mama, which is something you enjoy sharing. Don't know if I ever mentioned but you are on our prayer list at church & I try to give updates. We have been praying specifically for your eyes so I will mention your hand.

Gigi looks so beautiful! You did a wonderful job on her hair. I would have loved to have seen her dance.

I'm continuing to pray for you, and will pray specifically for your eye and your hand. Whenever I can't sleep at night, I think of you and pray. Last night was one of those nights, and I meant to pop on here and leave a message but prayed for you and then forgot to post!

Hope you had a nice 4th...
Denise
