Encore!

After months of practice, both girls were finally able to perform in public this past week!

First was Jaelyn's concert. Jaelyn's beginning band class did an amazingly good job performing six or so songs; I only heard two misplayed notes (none by Jaelyn). Here she was, beaming before the concert...


The only downside was that baritones sit in the back row, so I could barely get a glimpse of her! Every once in awhile I could see her hair!





Mike was able to get an action shot from his angle. She's got her game face on...

And sorry, but I have to post a video for Grandparents to listen to, so don't feel obliged. It's really pretty good though. It was nice to hear the rest of the instruments that we have been hearing just one part to for some time now. You can hear Kellen in the video, sounding the notes our family knows oh so well!




Four days later was Kaia's first meet of the season. First, she took a second on the trampoline in her flight. Next, she took third in her flight on her tumbling run. Here's her first run...

But her best placing of the day was second place on the double-mini, not just in her flight, but overall, amongst everyone in her level, no matter what age. She is trying to move up a level in two of her events, so hopefully this good start will help her achieve these goals soon!

Oh Toni, I love seeing how the girls are thriving.
