an afternoon with brett and chanel.

the trey mcintyre project is in town right now, which means we got to spend the afternoon with our dear friends, brett and chanel! oh how i’ve missed these two. and i just don’t get to see them often enough! the three of us were in the same graduating class at juilliard and it’s been so fun to watch these two talented friends really make names for themselves in the dancing world since graduation. they make me proud.
and, of course it was wonderful to have them finally meet baby girl in person! can’t wait to see these two blow us away on the stage tomorrow! love you both!

  1. e looks super cute, as do you! I love her constant hair accessories :) have fun with your friends! xx

  2. E is soooo cute! That little smile just gets me every time, what a sweetheart!

    Seeing E makes me even MORE excited to meet our Little! The countdown is on – 4 weeks till the due date :)

    I went to junior high with Lauren Edson who is a dancer with the Trey McIntyre Project! What a small world!

  4. @talia, congrats! 4 weeks is sooo close! although in my opinion, you should probably count 6 weeks to help with the *waiting*. ;)

    I just found your blog today, don't know why it took Google Reader so long to recommend it as dancer, 2+ year DC transplant, baby+dog lover, and much more are things we absolutely have in common!

    I work at the State Dept. with the Bureau who's sponsoring Trey McIntyre Project as Dance Ambassadors and it's been great to work with them. Hope the performance went well!

  43. I just finished browsing through all your posts that I have missed. I am down with measles, all alone while it's raining outside but your blog put a smile on my face. So happy for you and your little family.

    Lots of love and admiration,
