I love these pictures from the big finish of the title song of the play (Hello Dolly). I think they capture the joy of the song and the energy of these kids. I'm so proud of them. 

Going into the big finish...

And here we go to the big finish

I'm starting to get pictures coming in from the play. What a joyful experience! This one was sent to me by the mother of the leading lady. This was taken as we went over Dolly's notes from our final dress rehearsal. 

I don't like the fact that my face appears to have been attacked by scabies/leprosy/excema/dermatitis/psoriasis all at once. Not sure about that. The lighting isn't great for her, either. But I love this picture, and will admit to getting a bit choked up when I see it, because this is what I do. And I find that to be an incredible blessing in my life--one for which I am deeply grateful.
