A Star Is Born


After years of living in her big sister's shadow, Abby has finally found her niche. She auditioned for the talent show this year singing "Back To December". Here is the link to watch her performance on You Tube.

She did so great. After a dress rehearsal and 2 performances, she started loving that stage! As luck would have it, our music minister and friend, Jon Ward, coincidentally asked her to sing with him this week at church. She was beyond thrilled. He sang Casting Crown's "Slow Fade" and she had the child's solo at the end.

Her Juju and Paki took her shopping for the occasion. They dressed her from her headband all the way down to her shoes. I told her she should ask to sing more so she could get more clothes. She said they made it clear this was special because it was her first time. Shucks!
Click here to see Abby. She's at the end, but don't skip ahead because Jon is great.

She got to sing in both worship services and really did great. She's got the bug now. She asked me this afternoon if she could start singing in coffee shops and hotels. Um, I think we will stick with church and school for awhile!

Honor Choir

Tonight I was a proud Mom! Hannah performed in the FBISD Honor Choir at Clements High School. In early December she came home and told me that she wanted to try out for this choir. She would have to sing A Capella in front of the whole 5th grade and also sing in a round with the music teacher. The music teacher would then choose the 5 best singers. Hannah was chosen! She was so thrilled!! I am so proud of her for even trying.

Each elementary school in the district chose 5 singers and they all came together for a concert tonight. Unfortunately, Big D had to miss it because EG has had a stomach bug today! Yuck!

Here is Hannah's group from her school with her music teacher:


Here is the whole choir performing:

Here is the cool t-shirt she received with her name on the back:
