Annie

Hey kids,

Daddy here. This year, the school play was Annie Jr. It's the first time Mom and I have seen a St. Joseph School play that didn't feature Alex. However, Jake stepped up big-time and filled the role of Oliver 'Daddy' Warbucks.

Izzy was a little orphan girl and was totally adorable.

So for the last few weeks the house has been filled with songs from the musical and Mom and I have both been singing them Non-Stop. I heard the performances on Wednesday and Thursday both went well and was excited to see it on Friday night. We sat down at our table with Grammy and Papa and great grandma Dorothy period after mr. Softener let us through the auction with a few laughs we got ready for the performance. The Lights Went Down, and the show began. Now, I practiced with Jake many times helping go over lines and get the right inflection and pronunciation down and I have to say Jake, you absolutely killed it! You did such a great job dude and I'm so proud of you. You sold your lines, you sang beautifully and got all the jokes and all the tender moments perfectly spot on.

Izzy was awesome as the little orphan girl and totally cute. I know how much we all enjoyed the play but I have to say on a personal note, I really do love watching you perform Jake. I can't wait to see the play next year and where your immense talent will take you. I love you guys,

Daddy
