Well, Harvey has come and gone. It was in December that Charlie found out that he got a part in his school's production of Harvey. Chuck and I were so excited. Charlie is quite reserved and doesn't like to step out of his comfort zone. Play practice began the first week of Jan. and continued through the first week in March with 4 hour practices a night. Charlie had to balance school work and play practices. Towards the end of this brutal schedule, Charlie started feeling discouraged, extremely tired, and questioned why he even tried out in the first place. My heart was heavy and I told him we just need to pray for strength and there was only one week left until the performance. The prayers worked!!! Charlie truly enjoyed the performances and wants to try out for the next play. Talk about a change of heart in a matter of a week. I attended 3 of the 4 performances!!! Chuck and I are so proud of Charlie. He worked so hard w/out of lot of free time w/friends. Saturday practices were 6 hours long!!!
Last night, we took him to Lobsterfest at Red Lobster to celebrate just how proud we are of him. We let him pick anything off of the menu, and he picked the $30.00 lobster dinner!!! I hope you enjoy these pictures. I will also post some videos this week!!!
How awesome for you guys to see your Charlie in this play. It's exciting to see how hard he worked and the dedication he had and how God brought him through the rough times and that I'm sure he's grown so much during all of that! :) Love the pictures
