I cringed before I even opened my eyes this morning as I could hear the pitter pat of raindrops on my rooftop.  How could it be that we have reveled in 80 degree weather all week and expect the same forecast for next week, but today is our one day of rain.  Not sprinkles.  RAIN.  Downright nasty rain, at that.  Rain or shine, the show must go on! 

I spent much of the morning in tears wondering how we would execute our fashion show on a wet runway.  I even called every tent-rental location in Washington coming up empty handed.  This is definitely not what I had envisioned.  Believe it or not, moments before the crowd gathered, the skies parted and God smiled down on us.  Sunshine!  Pure and sweet sunshine.  The white carpet was rolled out.  The bow-tied lollipop pots were aligned.  The white chairs were set.  The favors were passed.  The tutus were fluffed.  And at last the show DID go on under a beautiful blue cloud-kissed sky.  Each of our 31 gorgeous pint-sized models were spot on with their smiles and twirls.  Even our tiniest tots were devouring the attention! 

What a blessed day it turned out to be.  It became a reunion of sorts, as many of my dear friends, old and new, attended the event.  Thank you to everyone!!  This is the first of many events for Bee Bops & Lollipops and Inside Out!

Please come back to see the pictures.  I hope to have them posted within the next few days.
