After bible school on Friday, it was a mad dash to prep and leave for the pageant in Michigan. While this pageant wasn’t the largest we’ve been too, it was well run and we weren’t super stressed between each event. The best part was that we were close enough to Wade’s Aunt, Uncle, and cousins that they were able to come over for it. In the audience for Keely were also Grandma, Grandpa, Darrin, and Janice. They all got to see her do what she loves. Keely keeps growing on stage and that is something we are super proud of.

At the after pageant party, the clown/magician had Keely on stage. It was pretty funny to watch since she is still at an age where she buys into all of that. Just ask her about Mom’s magic thumb. The highlight however, was Wade getting stuck with Vanessa (Keely’s baby doll), carrying it around and getting tons of compliments.

Keely really enjoyed spending time with her family. She was so excited to meet a new cousin that she kept going up to Chris, poking him, and running back to me, “I have a cousin and I poked him!” After lunch with family, we said our goodbyes and headed back to Fort Wayne.
