They Made It!

Markham Idol auditions were tonight...Hannah had been practicing with her friends and they even had actions to go along with their song (Break Away - Kelly Clarkson). They were very nervous and excited when they signed in.

This is them waiting for the verdict. There were 5 teenaged judges (the contest is put on by a youth group and open to all Markham students) and one man. The result was a little anti-climactic...maybe I watch too much reality tv, but they didn't ever tell them they made the cut, they just gave the girls a map to the Markham Idol competition. I asked if everyone just automatically made it to the competition, but apparently there were some cuts being made at the auditions.

The girls were SO excited!

This is their happy dance!

I realize I haven't put photos up for a while...personally, that's my favourite part about other people's blogs so I'll try to make more of an effort. Trouble is, when I'm busy shooting a lot for work, I tend to put my camera away in order to relax. So there's been a lot of new work (I don't know how to add a link to my website...must ask Jason) but not so many personal photos.
In random order, here's a short visual of what we've been up to lately (besides tonight's audition):

Murphy's grown!

Been spending time outside with the spring weather here! Eri & I took a trip to the beach one day last week...not to swim, but to have a picnic & play in the sand. Can't wait to bring the other kiddies when school's out.

Missing from photos...lots of walks in the woods with Murphy, baseball evaluations, soccer orientation (Henry's been wearing his new soccer shirt for 60 hours...no kidding!), Guides Mother's Day pajama party, Mother's Day barbeque with my own mother!
