The end of summer

We head home tomorrow. It seems like we've been here so long, yet it's gone by so fast! The kids amazed me with all they were able to learn and do in such unfamiliar surroundings. Kenzie fearlessly learned to make her way around the city by herself, helping me make sure everyone made it to their auditions. Brandt took every opportunity he had to show compassion to the homeless, finding creative ways to meet their needs for food or just a cup of cold water. Halle just showed us how very strong she is, matching us step for step as we hiked all over the city day in and day out! I could not be more proud of the people they are becoming. Thanks to everyone for your support this summer. We have missed you all!
While some of the jobs the kids did were local to NY, there are a few places you can look for them in our area. Halle will be in Goody's in mid-August, Wal-Mart in mid- November, and J Crew(catalog and website) in October. Brandt will be in the current Bloomingdale's circular and Target in September( in stores in boy's outerwear). Keep an eye out!
