My boys after a 3 hour ballet recital...sleepy guys!

Friday June 4th, 2010
Maggie's ballet recital was at the beautiful Victory Theater downtown.  We sat up in the balcony to watch as she danced to "Butterfly Fly Away" by Miley Cyrus.  The daddies of the girls in the routine waited behind them to the back of the stage as they danced.   We all watched her dance the routine and we were so proud of her.  As the song played its last verse the daddies twirled their girls around and gracefully lifted them up into big daddy arms.   I had tears that wouldn't stop...I'd venture to say that down on that stage Eric was crying like a baby.   He's a crying kind of guy normally, so to make it through that routine without tears down his cheeks was probably impossible.  Maggie is so beautiful and has such a spirit.  I can't wait to see who she'll "turn out to be"!  I love you Maggie Moo! 

Butterfly Fly Away

You tucked me in, turned out the light

Kept me safe and sound at night

Little girls depend on things like that

Brushed my teeth and combed my hair

Had to drive me everywhere

You were always there when I looked back

You had to do it all alone

Make a living, make a home

Must have been as hard as it could be

And when I couldn't sleep at night

Scared things wouldn't turn out right

You would hold my hand and sing to me

Caterpillar in the tree

How you wonder who you'll be

Can't go far but you can always dream

Wish you may and wish you might

Don't you worry, hold on tight

I promise you there will come a day

Butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away

Flap your wings now you can't stay

Take those dreams and make them all come true

Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away

We've been waiting for this day

All along and knowing just what to do

Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away
