This is the Schneider-Farris Family's Blog. Keep up with what we are doing by logging into this site regularly! (The reason this site is called "Tragedy and Triumph" is that when I first founded this site, my husband, Dan, had been in a horrible accident, and he recovered. His recovery was a miracle! Go back to the 2005 archives to read our story.)

Midwesterns 2011 - 3 Schneider-Farris Kids - 3 Medals - Pretty Cool!
The 2011 Midwestern Figure Skating Sectional was a busy competition for our family. Annabelle and her ice dance partner, Val Katsman, won the bronze medal in juvenile dance. Joel and Rebekah won the intermediate free dance and finished 3rd overall. Annabelle and Joel also competed in intermediate pairs and finished 8th. Everyone qualified in all events for junior nationals! My brother, Billy, was the technical specialist for singles, so the whole thing was also a family affair!
It is hard to describe what it was like to keep track of all the events and all the costume changes. I woke up 5 days in a row at 4:00 AM. Annabelle usually got her hair and makeup done first, followed by Rebekah. Joel lucked out. He would shower and put on his skating clothes at the rink.
Some of the practices began as early as 6:00 AM. The hardest day was when the kids competed in juvenile and intermediate free dance and also intermediate pairs. By the time they were done competing, I was so very tired!
Taking part in the awards ceremony was an emotional and happy moment for all of us!
Dan and I and my dad are so proud of Joel, Rebekah, and Annabelle! 3 kids - 3 medals - pretty cool!
