Your favorite memory (so far) of each daughter: Adeline – She was in the “Little Miss Fall Festival” pageant last year in our hometown. Most of the contestants sang or danced with fancy background music. We were afraid she would get stage fright, but she marched right up and belted out “God Bless America” a capella and won 1st runner up. Caroline – Learning to sing “Old McDonald”, E-I-E-I-Woe.
