Out in the hot tub with the girls, we hear a sound not unlike a dragon approaching from somewhere in the woods behind the house. It comes closer and closer. All of the sudden we see this looming from behind the trees. Right up and directly over us. The people on board were friendly, shouting and waving to us.

Last night my oldest daughter, Mia, did what I think took a lot of courage. She got up in front of about 100 people (parents, kids, grandparents) and sang the song Hey There Delilah. If you know the song, you know there’s lots of words that go by pretty fast and the melody itself requires a fairly wide vocal range. While slightly more timid than usual, she sang with her usual grace and sweetness. She is my favorite singer.
Mia is no stranger to the stage. This summer, she’ll be attending another season of her theater camp and will be performing in her tenth play. Last night was a less formal setting (part of a 70s themed end-of-the-year celebration at her after school program), but she still brought her game. I’m very, very proud of her. It was such a delight to have parents tell me after the fact how wonderfully she sang and how brave she was to do it.
