Homeschooling in the Heartland

Dec. 17, 2008 - I love my kids!

The 3 big kids had their Christmas program at church tonight. Abby helped lead worship with the kids church. She did great., and is growing up before my eyes. Emma sang and smiled and danced as an angel to 'O Holy Night' - beautiful! Caleb was sitting with the preschool/kindergarten group. They would sing and then sit on the front row until their turn came again. Everytime he went up front, he waved at me. Except for the time he gave me a thumbs up sign. ;) One song they sang was "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas". They held up pictures of a hippo and they were attached onto a stick. He waved it back and forth, turned it around and rested it on his forehead, covered his face with it and peeked around it grinning. Then he got poked in the eye with someone else's picture. The next song he sang, his hand was covering his eye the whole time. After that song, on his way to sit down, he noticed his dad. So, he went over to Daddy and said, "Hey, Daddy, did you see my new Christmas sweater?" Apparently, it was pretty cool and he wanted to be sure Daddy noticed! ;) My friend said she got that one on tape, as she was sitting right next to Daddy. ;)

Noah has come down with something and had a fever when we got home. Abby's school concert is tomorrow night. She came to me when we got home and said, "Mommy, just so you know, I'm totally fine with you not coming to my concert tomorrow. It's more important that Noah gets well, than you coming to hear a bunch of songs you've heard a million times." Awww. How sweet is that, and how blessed am I?
