Just asundry facts--
Katie tried out for, and got, a main part in our school's musical! It'll be near the beginning of May, and she has play practices every Sat (plus some during school hours) until then. She's excited! She really did a great job at her audition-- I was there helping to audition everyone-- don't worry, I kept my mouth shut when they were deciding whether she ought to have a part. :)
This is the first time our school's done anything of this magnitude, and it's fun, but a bit scary. I'm on the committee helping to pull this off-- I'm helping some with the music and some with administrative type things.
It's a musical based on Max Lucado's book, You Are Special. Very neat message.
Jenna has really been having fun with her recital piece-- she sits down and plays it regularly, without me prompting her. (Katie, on the other hand, has to be forced-- she is playing a piece that she thinks is too hard, but she's really learned a lot from it, and I think she's doing great)
Claire is exceedingly excited about the first birthday party she gets to go to-- one of her best friends from school-- Mar 13. And, she gets to go early and stay late because the rest of us are heading to Mechanicsburg to see the Sound of Music in which Chad's dad is playing trombone.
Micah-- he has learned to identify all his letters now, and he has a lot of fun pointing them out. He has also started singing the beginning of the alphabet song.
Fun for the whole family-- when we get him to try to say books of the Bible. He'll try to imitate anything! Some come out amazingly clear (like Habbakuk), but others like Deuteronomy come out like a jumble of syllables.
Handy for me-- he has gotten good at answering yes and no questions. Definitely simplifies things.
Micah really looks like a mess right now. His nose still has a red spot (altho it's not open anymore) where he scratches it while he sucks his thumb. And, this morning, he fell down the steps and hit the baseboard heater near the front door-- nice little lump and scratch on his head. He also still has a wound from last week when he fell into the trunk in our family room.
that is a great book. will we be around to see it?
ReplyDeletei love that book too - wish we could come see it... :)
ReplyDeleteLiz, isn't that the book you read in chapel when you spoke on eating disorders? Michelle, is it a published play? Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteWhat Sound of Music production? When's the recital?
MOMS
Hmm. Not sure about published. Lori bought it from a theater group in Singapore that had adapted the book into a play. I'm not real fond of the music. The words are great, but the melodies are odd. And the accompaniment is odd. Actually, maybe I should reserve final judgement until we get closer to a finished product. :)
ReplyDeleteSound of Music is at the school connected to W's church-- the one Chad and bros went to.
Recital is Sun March 28.
