Abi and David both had musical performances the week before Christmas. Abi is in 6th grade and is required to take either band or choir. She chose choir as she already takes piano lessons...(and she had a hard time making the clarinet produce any sounds:>) They did really well.
David's preschool put on a fun program. We sang loud enough that I could hear him over the others....especially on Rudolph which is his favorite song. It always surprises me to see how tall my boys are. David stands a head taller than his classmates. After the performance was over, they asked one of the little girls to come up front. She did and then started running like crazy to her dad...he surprised her and his wife by coming the the performance. He was on leave from Iraq and hadn't been home for over a year. A few tears were shed by all in attendance.
