Mel's Play

For the past month and half Melanie has been attending rehersals 5 out of 7 nights of the week (all rehersals lasted on average 3-4 hrs) for a play entitled SMASH. Melanie landed a lead role and has been performing the play here at BYU Idaho for the past two weeks. Last night Eric,my mom, my dad, and I were able to see Melanie perform and she did an amazing job. We were all very proud of her. My parents were only able to stay for a short time but while they were here my mom helped me dress up the baby crib with the dust ruffle, mattres sheet, and crib bumpers that she all made(she is a very good seamstress). When my parents dropped Melanie off at the beginning of this semester my mom took me out to select material for the baby's crib, and since I'm not much of a seamstress she offered to take the material home and work on it. Thanks Mom for all your hard work!




Melanie is sucking on a jaw breaker (been working on it for a while now) and mom is hand stitching the foam pads inside the bumper pads.

Melanie! Wish I could have seen you! You are such a great actress, so I know you were amazing. Jewels, the crib looks darling! Mom did a great job making those things, and good job Jewels picking out the cute fabric! And I'm glad your belly was included on that shot of you. :) You still look quite tiny, (though I'm sure you don't feel tiny.) love you guys!
