The Show MUST Go On

Well, that Whitney.....I think that she is not feeling well, but that was NOT going to stop her from being on stage tonight. She did a great job and was the VERY first act. I was so proud of her and how poised she was. I was a nervous wreck for her, but she didn't waver. A lady came up to me between the first and second show and wanted to talk to me about Whitney. She told me that she "wanted her"....didn't know how to take that until she told me that she runs and acting/singing academy or something. Poor lady, she was trying to talk to me and I was needing to get in for the next show! I plan to at least talk to her and find out more about what she was
talking about. Whitney had BEGGED to take acting classes, but I have just put her off. I thought that we could just stick to the local little theater workshops....but she has asked again and again...I will keep you posted on that. Here are some
pictures from tonight:

Whitney with our new neighbor, Madi, enjoying cookies between shows


Whitney on stage performing and full of confidence as I am about to throw up because I am so nervous for her!!!


This is not a good picture, but please notice that I am TAKING a digital picture while filming the show....I am like an octopus with many arms!!!!


Nana watching Whitney's private performance before the show. (Nana was supposed to attend the Talent Show, but when I had to cancel our sitter because of Savannah being sick, she graciously offered to sit with the kids so that I could attend the show)


Whitney warming up and giving John more of a chance to work on the song!

Whitney posing (her own pose) for a pre-performance picture!


Whitney put this ensemble together and said "aw, look this is the perfect dress for this song, and oh, these pearls, they just look great...it is just perfect, my hair the dress...my lip gloss" OH MY WORD!!!!!


Savannah bought the lipgloss for her today when we went to Kroger to get Savannah's prescription and new toothbrushes for everyone....Savannah has such a generous heart and she is genuinely excited when Whitney does stuff. They have a special relationship and I hope that it will always remain that way.
