79 and climbing

In December of 2007 I blogged about the number of kids concerts I had attended over my years of parenting.
Well the number is climbing and is closer to 85 now.

The Walker Middle School Christmas Concert had to be rescheduled to last week due to the snowstorm that hit in December.
Jeff and I were both able to attend and were actually surprised at what we heard.
A new music teacher broke with tradition and taught the students a new song.
What a treat for us and from the standing ovation, it was evidently a treat for many other parents.

With the invention of camera phones, I have begun to capture spontaneous moments to mark some of the kids activities.
I have found that I have very few pictures of myself with the kids, so last Friday I asked Jeff to take a picture of Jacquie with me. After several humorous attempts in classic Jeff fashion, we were able to get our photo.

(everyone should experience Jeff in this way, just once)

Next month there will be another concert as Laura has her first performance since taking up the flute.
I can hardly wait... to see what kind of photos we capture.
