Emma's Team Made the Final!

WARNING! This is a very non-stamping related post and I am one PROUD Mama right now! So be prepared for little EXCITEMENT!!!

For the first time ever in Emma's 4 years with the National Blades Synchronized Skating Team - they qualified for the Final Round of the USFS Eastern Sectional Championship!! This means that her team is one of the top 12 teams at her level on the entire EAST COAST!!!
WooHoo!!

Here is a photo I took of them in the locker room just before they went out to take the ice.
As you can see, they were a little loose and happy - which translated to FUN during their program. We do bring them back to focus as they leave the locker room, but too much 'serious' just makes them nervous.

And here is them after their AMAZING skate, getting their official photo taken.

Look at those smiles! They knew they had done a great job, even without knowing the results at that minute.
Mark was upstairs in the arena where the results are posted and I called him from the locker room to find out where they'd placed and you should have heard the ERUPTION from the girls when they found out! You'd have thought we'd told them they'd won a million dollars and a visit from the Jonas Brothers!

So, tomorrow at 12:59 pm est, they will take the ice again for the final round. No matter the outcome, these girls can hold their heads high and be proud of their accomplishment tonight.
Go National Blades!!!
