It's spring! But the weather sure hasn't felt very spring-like lately. Tuesday, the sun was shining (blessing #1121), but the cold wind kept us wrapped in blankets during Jenica's first JV soccer game of the season. "Bundle up, snuggle-cup", as Jillian would say. She likes to make up silly rhymes. (#1122)
Because Jenica's game and Jillian's spring concert were scheduled for the same night, about 30 minutes apart, I was only able to see half of the JV game before it was time to get Jillian over to The Tassel for her Spring Music Porgram. Chad was coaching the boys team on the adjacent field and was able to switch fields for a while so he could watch Jenica play her first half. I'm grateful it was a home game, and that Chad and I were both able to see part of her first game. (#1123)
Mrs. Butler always does a great job with her kiddos, and we could tell they were having fun. (#1124) Jillian's favorite song (and mine too) was the one called "Fireflies". Each of the 2nd graders had flashlights that they flashed on and off while singing when they dimmed the lights. It looked like fireflies were fluttering around on stage. Too cute!
After the program, Jillian searched and searched and proudly showed us her 4 pieces of artwork, which were on display in the foyer. (#1125)
Jenica's game ended just in time for her to walk across and catch Jillian's portion of the program. (#1126) The bad news of the day was that my nephew Xander (also a 2nd grader) got sick earlier in the day and missed the program. Things like that can't be avoided, but it sure creates some sad moments for both mamma and child.
As I sat watching the kids and enjoying the program, I happened to notice several of the boys yawning off and on while trying to sing. And those yawns took me back in time about 14 years to when Jacob was a little boy and yawned his way through music programs too. Flashbacks like these are always a welcome gift. (#1127)
