For 52 years Bethel University (my college) has been celebrating the season with their “Festival of Christmas.” This year the Theme is Night Of Wonder: Christmas Through The Eyes Of A Child and they decided to have a Children’s Choir. My three oldest auditioned and made it in.
So every Monday since October they have been practicing and this week they have performances Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and two on Saturday.
We parents have been helping to keep them corralled during down times before and during the performances. This evening I got the opportunity to escort half the choir in. As I type this, I am waiting with the kid’s choir and the parents for their cue to go on for the Grand Finale.
It is a busy, sweet time. I am proud of my boys.
And as I understand it, this is my 501st post.

Keep enjoying this time–it goes by too quickly.
And be sure to keep a scrapbook. It’s a great way to count blessings and stay thankful…

Wow 501 posts. Seems like you were just starting your blog yesterday. You’ve almost caught me now. I’ve blogged for 14 months more than you, and have only 559 posts to show for it. You should be congratulated on your regular posting! I’ve got over 4000 comments to my record too, so that keeps me busy.
One of these years we have to see that concert…..
Blessings, brother.

I guess the drama department (or something) videod it and they are sending all the parents DVDs. And we also get a free CD of the performance.
Plus lots of pictures.
It was a very rewarding week
