My Little Musicians

Last week Emily performed in her school talent show. She sang a 2-minute solo to the song "this is me" from the movie Camp Rock. She really wanted to participate and so Scott helped her find a chareoke song on itunes and then he cut it down to two minutes in length. It took several days to find the right song and then several hours for Scott to shorten the song. Not all of the talent show participants cut their songs like they were supposed to and the end result was a show that was 2 hours long. Yikes! Scott just came for the first half of the show with the three little kids and then took them home after Emily performed. Here is Emily at intermission enjoying a cookie and happy to be done with her part.
My parents live closeby (7 minutes away to be exact). They got to attend the talent show too and brought Emily a beautiful rose from their garden.
A few days after the talent show Holly had her final band concert of the year. She is in the second row second from the left. You might be able to click on this picture to see her better. She is in the 6th grade band with members from the 5 elementary schools in our area. They practice twice a week before school at the high school with the high school band instructor.
Here Holly is with some of her band friends. She has really enjoyed being in band these past two years.
My mom got to attend this concert too and she took this nice picture of Holly and I.

Good for you Holly and Emily. I hope our girls get to do fun things like that in a few years.
P.S. I can't believe how much your dad looks like Uncle Jim....I had to do a double take.
