Popping My Buttons
Caleb and Logan were in Music For Young Children again this year. A part of the program is that every child writes a piano composition that is then entered in a competition with all MYC students around the world. Sunday night we had our end-of-year recital. Of course, I was about as nervous as the boys when they got up to play, but they did very well. And then, big surprise! Pastor Brian announced that there were two finalists in the composition festival - one in Mrs. Diane's class and one in his. Then he announced "Caleb Graber!". What a shock! I just about bawled. He explained after that he was a finalist in Ontario for his class (Sunbeams II in case you're familiar with the program). So, we were pretty excited and honored. Today I got a call from our little local newspaper that they want a picture of Caleb and the other little girl to put in the paper. Cool! I had Caleb practice the song again so I could tape him playing it. I was just going to post the video, but I'm having no success. When I click the "add video" button, it does nothing... huh. Anyway, I just had to share our little story.

Go, Caleb!! That's awesome!! Maybe auntie Rachel would let you play it as part of her wedding this summer???
way to go, Caleb!
and we'll keep an eye out for the video!
That's awesome! I hope you don't think you're silly for bawling, because every time I see my kids perform on stage I cry. Doesn't matter how many recitals I've seen.
whoo hooo! I meant to comment awhile ago. that's wonderful.
