This One's for the Grandparents

After several years of being scared to walk into any auditorium, let alone step on a stage, Ella rocked out with her second grade class last night!!!
We sat on the edge of our seats, our eyes watering. Truth: my eyes were spewing tears of joy.
 (Thank you to you locals who were sharing in them with me. I treasure your tears, too.)
She sang.
She danced.
She conquered, and declared it "fun".
Oh, my conquering Lady Ella!
Let's have some more fun this year, okay?
I love you so, and once again I praise your Creator.
