There are FIVE kids in this family, and I am trying really hard for this blog to not be about just ONE of them! Each of them is special and I want to make sure my kids – and everyone reading this – knows that.
Emily is our oldest. She is quickly becoming a talented artist, writer, and musician. She was recently chosen to attend a Young Writer’s Fest at the University. She was one of 25 writers chosen from her school. She was pretty excited, and got up early just to curl her hair!
I enjoyed getting to see her read her story for the panel of (adult) writers. She was a bundle of nerves as she anticipated her turn to read. She did a fabulous job, complete with inflection, enthusiasm and a smile on her face. The writers had nice comments for her and she beamed as her turn ended.
Here is a video of her reading. It’s really hard to hear her, though. We were in a very large room, with no microphone, and the air conditioning (or maybe heater) was running the entire time. I could hardly hear what she was saying and I was only 10 feet away!
Not to fret, though. Here is the actual story if you care to read.
