NEW FAMILY MEMBER as IM JOINING A NEW FAMILY

WOW, it has been an exciting couple of days.

FIRST of all, my baby nephew was born this morning, 3:17am. His name is William Howard Thomson. I have the most adorable picture of him on my phone and that is what woke me up this morning; what a blessed and humble way to start my day. I miss my brother and his family dearly. I wish I could be there to help them with

the kids and celebrate at least one holiday this year with them :( I really strive to be a good Aunt and someone my nieces can turn to/admire, but living so far and now traveling so much makes it difficult. Any suggestions?

SECOND of all, In The Heights tour cast has their first audience tomorrow! Our invited dress will take place on the UF campus (GO GATORS!)...and clap vertically.... tomorrow afternoon. THEN WE LEAVE FOR TAMPA and OPEN on Tuesday! I CANNOT believe it has gone by so quickly. I am scared this year will fly by and I will be back in Los Angeles without even having "smelled the roses" as they say.

Here is the CAST of In The Heights with creative team on Abuela's Stoop! (for you Lin)

Our rehearsals are going well. They go by so fast, I feel like its 9-5 instead of 10-12am! Crispers is still our spot to go-I had their summer salad again today!!! We have had many funny moment in rehearsals....our cast is hilarious! And so is our di

rector....dang...that Tommy sure is funny....OH and Mom, Tommy and Lin say hi--they

love your comments on my blog, mention you everyday! <---that was for you Tommy.

Lin sang Paciencia Y Fe for us

the other day, yes high A! I also heard the beginning demo for sunrise! Lin is pretty much a ge

n

ius and it was so interesting to hear what parts stuck and what parts didnt make it to the final cut

. I loved the lyrics and the melody was different, I liked it a lot. In fact, I didn't write down some notes because I was enthralled with the song! JK Andy hehe.

Frisbee is still our favorite pass time. It was so nice to play in the sun today and run around like a crazy person trying to catch the frisbee. OH and Tommy came up with this brilliant game--who can get the frisbee into the other player's open mouth accurately? Welp, so much for dental coverage.... just kidding, it was funny!

I need to pack now because we have baggage call in the morning. Thanks ITH FAM for a wonderful Gainesville Tech. OH and thank you University of Florida for your hospitality and kindness. Especially Bethany for bringing Silk Creamer to the theater!!!
