God Bless America, and Spring!

We are fast approaching that magical time of year that is Spring, and we know because there are all things musical and fun happening at school!

This year for President's day, the 3rd grade classes put on a very special patriotic performance at school, and YES it does say God Bless America in a public school.  Lily has been singing and practicing her music for months now and couldn't wait for her performances.  In case you can't find her she is right there in the front to the left of the kid in the blue shorts.  Her smile is almost as big as her personality. 

They opened the short show with a big group song and then broke off into classes for special class only pieces.  Lily was super excited that she got to wear a hat and do motions for "This Land is My Land."  

They also had a blast with pom poms and I won't lie, Lily might have a future on stage, she loves performing with a group.  Its such a neat thing to see as a Mother.

The kids had two performances in the day and Grandma and I showed up for both.  I love this sweet class and Tina Wylie is beyond an incredible teacher.  She has sparked the love of reading with Lily and as you can see clearly,  school is a happy place for her.

A couple of days later we had Evie's Spring Fling concert.  Its so much fun to do these events for both girls.  Evie's songs finish with a picnic and we were so fortunate to have Daddy here for that one!

Evie was especially excited because she had herself a little solo and she nailed it.  All week long she kept reminding us that "I get to sing in the microphone."  I won't lie, you could hear her over all the other kids!

School Concerts are special and even though they are short and sweet, Bob and I cannot talk enough about how incredible it is to be a parent that shows up.  I am more reminded of how important the little moments are every day!  Here's to a beautiful Spring filled with life, growth, and joy.
