Kim's son Alex has done it again! Not only is he great at sports and a straight-A student, but he can also sing and act! This year he was Gaston in his middle school's production of Beauty and the Beast.
He did a great job, and since he is finishing 8th grade and heading off to high school (!), this was his last performance on this stage. I can't wait to see what he does in high school.
It was also super-fun to be in the Official Alex cheering section that was 19 people strong on closing night. It was great to catch up with Kim's family and good friends. Here are a few of us after the show with Alex:
OK, I'll say it again: ALEX is going into HIGH SCHOOL!?! How did this happen? I have known him since he was born, literally and it just amazes me how time flies and kids grow up. It's been awesome watching Alex grow up through the years. He is truly one of the most talented, smart, kind kids I know (besides my nephews, of course!).

Thank you so much for your great blog about Alex. I always say Alex and Kim have soared to be the great people they are because of friends like you. Make sure no matter how busy you both get in life... that you always make time for each other. Some people will go through their entire lives and never have experienced the true support and caring that your friendship with Kim and Al has. Thanks for showing Alex what a real friendship is.
We Love You

Um!!!! Seeing Alex in those pictures sure brought back a ton of memories. And I can't believe how Gaston-like he looked and how big he's gotten. Good for all of you for attending! Hi to Kim and Alex and a big shout out to Alex for all his great work and showmanship from us here in Minneapolis, part of his earlier-days Chicago crew/fan club. :)
