Friday- Hallie had her recital rehearsal. (enjoy the videos!! The first is her dance and the second is the finale!! They are so dang cute!!) Afterwards Levi & Hallie had "Daddy Dates" and went to the movies (and Papa Ron). My mom, Tricia, Reese, Becky, Jessie {our refugee from flooded Iowa City) & I went out to dinner.
Saturday- I had to work {taught a class and club} As I was getting off work we were greeted by an AMAZING double rainbow. (I think it was one of the brightest I have ever seen) When I got home Ryan and Ron grilled up FABULOUS steaks while the "ladies" made yummy sides. We ended the night, into the wee hours of the morning playing WII !!
Sunday- {Happy Father's Day!} After brunch we all got ready for Hallie's "big show"! She looked adorable and was sooooo excited to get to dance on the big stage! {not nervous a bit!} She did a great job. After her daddy greeted her flowers. We celebrated her big day and Father's day at the Japanese Steakhouse for supper.
Here is the canvas I made for Ryan for Father's Day {he hung it on the wall right away!}
**Update on my evacuated sister**
She is still not allowed into her apartment (obviously, since the first story of her apt. place is under water!!) But she had to go back to Iowa City (since I-80 reopened) to work. She is staying with a friend. She will keep me posted... it just blows my mind that Coralville/Iowa City will never be the same! They said many businesses will never reopen (Reminisce!!- so sad) and others will take months.
5 friends had to say...:
That canvas is beautiful...love the poem. Hallie looks darling for her dance recital! WOW!
It looks like it was an amazing show.
We need to get together as soon as I get back in town on Monday.
Whatcha' got goin' on???
Hallie did a fabulous job and looked so sweet! Thanks for a great time
Hallie did a great job-----and love the costumes! CUTE!
Also....LOVE the canvas! I had never read that poem before, sooo cute!!!!
Hallie did really great! It seems like a looong routine for such young kids! She really nailed it!
My son also lives in Iowa City. He had to come and go from his apt. across a train bridge on foot. He lives on the west side of the river and works at Prairie Lights on the east side and couldn't get there for several days!
