Narrating and Welcoming and Piano Playing - Oh my!

It was a big week for us last week! Both boys had speaking parts in school programs. Ethan was one of the narrators for the school production of The 12 days of Christmas and he had a piano recital. Avery gave the "welcome" to the school mass and was a active participant in the choir during the Christmas Program.

Speaking Parts
After years of speech therapy, watching both our boys get up to a microphone and speak in front of a crowd in the same week was a BIG deal for us! We are so proud of all of their hard work. To those of you who have been a therapist and/or a source of support - thanks! You helped us get here and your hard work and love is NOT forgotten.

The picture isn't great - but it's the words we want you to hear! ENJOY EVERY LAST ONE!

Piano Playing
This is Ethan's 3rd year of piano lessons and he continues to amaze us with his confidence and musical ear. His chosen selections for this year's recital were Silver Bells and The Imperial March.

I will keep Jesus in my heart, but only because Avery told me to!

Love the narration, love the piano recital. His chops are far beyond mine now!

Love to you all!
