wishes do come true...

backstage before her number

working out the jitters

trey and grammy checking in with kate before she goes on

kate and her bosom buddie krista


kate is on the far right

trey gives his sis flowers after the show and then hams it up for the camera

below "grammy" swenson came to share the big event with us.

shortly after moving to asheville in the winter of 07 we saw a billboard for the asheville ballet. pictured were several dancers preforming a scene from swan lake. after passing the billboard a bazillion times kate announced that some day she wanted to dance on stage. the follow spring she started taking tap and ballet lessons at the asheville dance theater and this past week it was her turn. she took the stage with her fellow classmates and preformed a tap routine to blueberry pie and a ballet performance to colors of the wind. after seeing a sneak peek back in december pete and i were both amazed by how far she's come since then.
way to go kater.
you are our shining star!
