die zauberflöte.


We spent the last few weeks at rehearsals, in vocal coaching sessions, at costume fittings, makeup sessions and most of all backstage. The children had so much fun and I am so glad that they had this opportunity. Their grandfather directed the opera, Liam sang the role of the second spirit and the girls were the most adorable animals in one scene and the sweetest little Papagena chicks in another. Now it is back to our regular routine. Today we went to church, took a long nap, caught up on reading, baked a cake and most of all went to bed early. And all of that makes me incredibly happy. I love our little family. Especially on those ordinary, somewhat boring days. The endless rain we have been enjoying all day also helps.

The girls were amazing and stole the show at the end, which was a pretty hard thing to do at that point! Sad I didn't get to see Liam.
