Little Mermaid Jr!

Mia and friends from Brylliant Acting Studio did a great job with their winter production of Little Mermaid Jr.! Mia was so excited when she landed the role of Ariel. She worked so hard to learn this role, and it paid off; she did amazing! It was so fun to watch her on stage! Following are lots of pictures from the production.


"Part of Your World" has always been one of my favorite Disney songs; it was so cool to hear Mia sing it so well! Here's the YouTube link to see the performance.

It was fun to watch Mia perform opposite one of her best friends, Judson Sampler, while he was in the role of Sabastian.
"Under the Sea" was a fun one to watch as it showed off all the fun costumes (and Judson's Jamaican accent!). See it on YouTube here:

From mermaid to human!






"Kiss the Girl" is another favorite Disney song of mine. Mia and Jake Johnson (as Prince Eric) managed not to laugh as Judson led this incredibly fun version! See it here:

And they lived happily ever after!
Mia definitely deserved all this applause; she performed so well!


We were thankful for friends who were able to come and support Mia at her two shows. Frances, Faith, and Eliana came to the first performance. Bama was also in town for this show which we appreciate. Several friends from church came too: Ethan and Amanda Evans, Jackson and Anna Michelle Hanks, and Adam and Samantha Raeburn.
Layne and Yabsera came to the second performance. Katie Denis from church came; we are so thankful for her! Granna, Papa, Wayne, Molly, Barbara, Cinja, Judy, Elaine, and Sid came as well; we appreciate our family being so supportive!
This was such a fun performance, and we are incredibly proud of Mia!

2022 Family Pictures

We took our annual family pictures with Allison Mauer a few weeks ago, and she sent them to me recently. We met at the Marietta Market one slightly overcast morning; we decided to with black and white clothes this year which we haven't done before. I think they turned out great! I am so grateful that we have these pictures every year! 












I'm so thankful for this family of mine!
