The Guymon Family: Finding Joy in Our Journey: Aubree's Recital: "The Magic Coat"

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking the kids to scout camp. I want there to be a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.

Aubree's Recital: "The Magic Coat"

Aubree had her ballet recital in April. I love watching her dance and I love the studio she takes dance from. She takes from Heather Wilson at Discovery Dance Works, which is a classical dance studio. Heather is the most amazing dance teacher ever! This year they performed "The Magic Coat".

Aubree had 2 parts in the show. First she was a Traveling Sailor. (She looks stressed out because a piece of her costume was missing and we were scrambling to find it.)

She was also in the scene 'Calming the Storm'.

I am so proud of Aubree. Ballet is her favorite thing in the world and she works so hard at it. I love watching all that hard work pay off. Good Job Princess. We love you!
