These are the Moments

There is a country song out and the chorus has this line:

These are the moments when I thank God that I'm alive

That is how I felt this morning at 3:30 am. It was a simple gesture of love from my 3 year old that reminded me that life is good and I'm glad I'm living it.

Garrett came into my room and said he had to go potty. He went and then requested that I carry him back to bed. I obliged although I was secretly cursing my wasted sleep as I staggered half asleep into his room. I laid him down, tucked him back in and was walking out of the room when he called out.

"Mommy, you're my best friend"

I don't know why it struck me so much at that moment but it just reminded me that even though my children drive me crazy this is really all I've ever wanted and I have been blessed enough to have it and I could not ask for more.

Each Of Us Is A Flower

I have been to Kindergarten Round-up 6 out of the last 7 years. I, basically, have gone twice for each one of the girls. Once for when they were going into kindergarten and once when they were kindergartners so I can hear them sing. The same 3 songs have been sung at each one of these round-ups but I have to tell you I don't mind. I love them. Even though, I hear this song in my house all of the time (since all 3 girls know it) I still had a few tears when Caitlyn sang it today.

Life sometimes amazes me. I mean, Caitlyn was just a little baby the first time I heard this song. I was taking Brittany to her kindergarten round-up. But here she is singing it herself to the kindergartner class of 2010.

Anyway, here she is singing "Each of Us is a Flower". She is kinda hidden. The mommy in me wanted to go on stage and move the girl hiding her but I did refrain.

I guess I only have "4" kindergarten round-ups to go!

Benfer Choir Performance

Brittany had her choir performance last night. I thought it was so cool that she sang a song that I sang in the Elementary School Choir when I was a kid. She is on the 2nd row on the left side.

Here is Brittany showing off her ribbon skills.

A few weeks ago the choir performed at the Children's Music Festival. This is Brittany showing off her trophy that was won for the school.
