photo dump.

hi, friends!  i'm going to do a little phone dump.  if you're on instagram these

might be repeats.  i'm letlovegrow there.  i've been trying to catch emmy & evie

smiling at the same time on there.  it hasn't happened yet, but will soon!  they 

are smiling and cooing--so much fun.  the kids think it's the best thing in the world.

it kind of is.  

we're getting ready for our small group to come over.  the kids are loving all the extra

toy catalogs coming in the mail for the holiday season.  they are alternating between

circling things that they love & running to the window to watch the combine harvesting

corn behind our house.  

did you see the Listen to Your Mother news?!  i'm equal parts excited and terrified.  well,

maybe slightly more excited than terrified.  i mean, when i finally got up the nerve to

audition 2 years ago, i didn't know if i would be able to read my piece.  it was HARD.

i couldn't even look up at Steph while auditioning, my voice was shaky & my insides

were full of butterflies.  then at our rehearsal, i actually cried when it was my turn to

get up in front of my cast mates and read at the podium. [i get that this seems crazy

to some of you.]  so, directing and producing this year?!  well, i hope that tells you

just how much i believe in Listen to Your Mother.  i couldn't imagine it 

not coming back to Northwest Indiana.  i firmly believe that everyone has a 

story and i'm so honored to be giving some of those local stories a 

microphone.  LTYM is coming to 24 cities this year.  the city list

and directors & producers are listed HERE.

i hope you'll consider auditioning for or attending one near you!

my parents are driving up for the weekend.  looking forward to relaxing

and enjoying our family.  what are you up to this weekend?

hope you enjoy it!
