Kelsey makes her debut in DCA Spring Musical

Kelsey is making her big debut tonight in the DCA Spring Musical "Thoroughly Modern Millie". They have a performance tonight at 7:00 and again tomorrow night at 7:00. We have a large group of family and friends coming for tomorrow night's performance (my Mom, Dad, Aunt Charlotte, my nephew JR, and niece Madison, Jennifer's parents, her sister & her family, and Kelsey's voice teacher).

She has been working hard for quite some time, but this week especially. It has been after 11:00 before they finished 3 nights this week. She is very excited and doesn't seem too nervous. I am sure she will do great. Courtney is still not very comfortable going to plays or anywhere when they turn off the lights, there is loud music, and she is unsure of what is going on, so she is not going to the play. However, Jennifer took her last night to a Dress Rehearsal and after she got past the first 10 minutes of lights going off, she really enjoyed it. They had to leave after the 1st act so Courtney could get ready for bed (school night) and she did not want to leave. :-) Kelsey was excited to hear that. Courtney is spending the night with Jessica again tonight.

In other news, Kelsey was selected by DCA to compete in a Math Olympics at Belmont University a few weeks ago.

Last weekend Jennifer's aunt Judy got us tickets to the Casting Crowns concert at the Sommet Center. We had a blast (me, Kelsey, Taylor, Christy & Tanner, and Caryn & Cayman (Jenn's cousin & her son)). It was a 3 hour praise and worship service that seemed like it was over in no time. Kelsey and I are still singing their songs in the car every chance we get. Here is a link to their website if you want to check out their music (http://www.castingcrowns.com/). There were also 2 other groups who sang (Leeland & John Waller). Kelsey liked Leeland so much, we bought one of their CDs.

Please keep my friend Daniel and his family in your prayers. He and his wife Mary have 4 children. The 4th child, who was just born this past week with complications, is having problems and is at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital now.
