CHICKADEE Performance Today!!!

Today is the day Josie has been waiting for for 364 days...her synchronized swim performance. She is in the youngest group called the Chickadees. Absolutely adorable. She finds great enjoyment in being in a team sport. I wish we could start a team back in California. The team has been so sweet to her and the coaches were amazing, especially Colleen who has helped Josie specifically for the past 2 years. I will let the video tell the story and the smile and her face in the pictures will tell the rest. It is just a miracle that she can even attempt to do this and just 7 years since separation.

Waiting for the show to start

Colleen and Josie

Mrs. Bergman (Josie's teacher in Michigan) came to the show and brought Josie beautiful white roses. Thanks Mrs. Bergman!!

My Little Chickadee... I am so proud of you and all your hard work, but especailly for the big smile you always have.

Paper Plate Awards...the coaches give each girl a paper plate with a cute name on it. Josie was given the mermaid award because all she wants to do is swim.

We are so happy to have Grandma and Grandpa here for a few days. They got to come see the perfomance. We went on the Eger's boat last night with the Livingstons. We had the most lovely evening. It was fun to have 5 Healing the Children on board...4 of which have been adopted the other here for open heart surgery. What great friends we have. Thank you all for taking such great care of us while we live in Michigan.
