Christmas Concert

Friday morning Eddy and I attended Isaac's school Christmas concert. With the school shooting in Connecticut one week prior, the Governor of that state asked for 26 seconds of silence to honor the victims. Afterwards, the 4th graders sang first...and I pretty much cried the whole time they were singing. Those poor parents and family members of the victims--I cannot imagine the sorrow in their hearts. Eddy and I have have talked this past week about being grateful for all we have, giving our kids extra love, and having faith that God has a plan for us. I tend to get worked up about life's "little things" and need to instead have more gratitude.

When the kindergartners came on stage, Isaac somehow was quick to find us in the crowd. He did such a great job! For the first song, he and some other kids sat in the front and rang bells.


Eddy and I were really impressed with the choir teacher. Each grade level sang a song from different cultures. The kids also do a log of hand motions, moving to the beat, and playing/using a variety of instruments. Isaac was on the top row, third from the left.


At one point, we noticed that he was rubbing his right eye, which usually happens when he's fighting back tears. We asked him that night what was wrong, and he said he was getting "a little scared" in front of all the people. Just like his mom, he feels things deeply. All of the kids did a great job. We are so proud of him!
