It's SNOW deep!

 We got almost 9 inches of snow from this last snow. What a way to end winter! The girls are loving it, since it is perfect for snowballs and snowpeople.

Exciting News

Last week, the girls attended an open call for the National American Miss Pageant our state. We got a call this evening that both girls have been selected to participate in the state pageant in early July. They won't be competing against each other, as there are 5 age divisions.

We'll have more info soon. Check out the NAM website to get an idea of how it is run.

Starting again

We're going to start updating this blog again. We had some technical difficulties, which helped prevent us from accessing this site. Everything's better now.

Tragedy at the State Fair (We are all fine!)

While we were at the Fair yesterday for the girls to perform, we had left by about 3 PM. The collapse of the Grandstand stage occurred at about 9 PM. It was caused by a 70 mph localized wind gust.

Unfortunately, 5 people died and 45 were injured. Please keep those people and their families in your prayers. The Fair is close today and will reopen tomorrow with most activities occurring.

We won't be returning to the Fair until Sunday, August 21.

State Fair Talent Contest, part 2

The contest was to begin at noon, today. Since the girls were in the last group, they didn't perform until after 5 PM!

They didn't place among the 12 vocal groups, but they did their best and had fun. We couldn't ask more of them.

Two of the judges had some really positive comments and suggested that they both continue with their singing. One judge even stated that she could see real potential in the girls. Both Jules and Kitty have decided they want to compete again next year. So, after a bit of a break, we will begin looking at duets for them to consider.

Brava, girls, brava!
