Hi to RLS, Julie (and everyone on the site).
I was just checking in real quick, to read the latest updates etc.as it has been a while, and saw your post, RLS.
So I wanted to say hi and give you a little update. Thank you for stopping by Amanda's site and we do apologize....we have been a tad neglectful of the website. A new one is being built with updated pics etc. so we keep saying "oh we'll just add stuff to the new site when its up" instead of the current one" so we won't have as much to transfer". But then the new site is taking its time getting up and so we are in "mid-sites" limbo.
Amanda is doing great. No major changes since March really (which we were hoping for). We are concentrating more on sis and bro right now and having Amanda just chill and take a break from performing for a bit (well - rephrase - we are trying to have Amanda chill and take a break from performing). But we think that....yup we think it may be a part of her genetic make-up, coz we haven't quite managed to accomplish that just yet (lol).
However other than her performance in Hollywood, we have managed to keep her within the confines of the Florida "border".
She just got done with the school semester, and is finishing up her 4th theater production (3 local productions and one local tour) "Lights, Camera, Action" this weekend. O/W she has been performing for charities and various functions around here, riding and showing 'her' horse, swimming (a lot) and spending time with friends and family. Over-all she is just having fun
In regard to Annie - She still keeps close to the Annie orphs from various casts and is having a few coming over to Orlando, to visit this summer.
She has spent time with Madison (Zavitz) (Pepper - Cast of 2007-2008) at Disney and sees and has performed with AnnaLisa (Molly- Cast of 2007-2008) at a fashion show. We are hoping to go to NY sometime this summer to see Marissa in Shrek and Casey and Erin in Billy. We also got to see Jocelyn's (Duffy - cast of...uhm.... 2006-2007...I think) brother, Blake (who is just as amazingly talented as Jocelyn), perform at the Orlando rep (Wow, I just realized that we are indeed a few photo uploads behind (lol)).
Well, I see, Julies pages filling up, right before my eyes with our stuff (lol). So I'll end off here and cross over to Amanda's website, hopefully sometime this week.
Again thanks so much, RLS, for visiting Amanda's site and for asking about her.
Wishing you, your family and everyone reading this post, a wonderful warm summer.
Angelique Balon (The mom :) )
PS: I am attaching 2 pics with post - hopefully correctly.

Wow, I love the photo on the horse. They both look so serious and regal. It's funny but when I think of Florida, I picture beaches and Disney, not horses. So glad to hear that Amanda is enjoying life and performing for fun.
