fashion show
it's strange being a parent before a performance. i tried not to, but waiting for the show to start i couldn't stop myself from getting nervous. how was eve doing backstage? will all that sugar from the cupcakes, cookies and starbursts hit the bloodstream at the exact moment she's supposed to walk on? will she freak out? will she get overwhelmed with all the cameras and people and bright lights? is she going to keep the raincoat on? will all the pep talks make any difference? is she going to have a good time? nervous nervous, pretend like i'm fine, stare at the clock, wait wait. and then, finally, it starts. the kids make their way out one by one and they are amazing. eve is third (fourth?) in line and comes out with the greatest smile and confident little walk. halfway down the catwalk she spots us, gives a big wave (crowd loves it- such a nice crowd), gets to the end, turns around and smiles all the way back. done and everyone is happy. we sneak out through the masses, find eve with her fellow models, give hugs and praise galore, take more pictures, change and leave parsons. we make our way to the subway, ruth plays peek-a-boo with strangers while eve cuddles up and falls dead asleep against my belly.

Aunt Katie-
That is so awesome! Eve did such a great job- the outfit was really cute, too. that is so great that she could have an awesome oppurtunity!

Awww she's so cute. She did a GREAT job. I love New York for the fashion shows. (When we were there the kids school teamed up with Children's Place and did a fashion show as a fund raiser. Ariann was chosen as one of the models, it was so great.)
Her out fit is absolutely adorable. Yeah again!

I'm glad Jeanie teared up too, because that made me cry! She is soo cute, the video was too much, your laugh and chip cheering her on, her cute little wave- I'm crying. Maybe I'm pregnant.

I couldn't get zane to go to a birthday party this weekend- we never made it through the front door (too many people?). I can't imagine what would have happened if I tried to put him on a runway!?
she was MADE for this- so awesome!!!!
I felt like clapping and cheering from this west coast. What a darling star. Great job, Eve!!! Love you!
Congratulations! She looks so adorable! And I love that transparent rain jacket!
