opportunities

here are some things that don't get acknowledged everyday, but i feel are worth noticing.

i got this email from max's teacher and decided to celebrate.  working hard in school is so important and i'm grateful my kids want to do well.

we went out for pizza as a family and then dave took max bowling! 

way to go max!!!!

abe is so involved with sports, but has this whole other side of him.  he is really musical.  he and sadie sang in sacrament meeting together and i thought they did such a great job.  i was proud of myself because i expanded my comfort zone and wrote an arrangement for the accompaniment because i couldn't find one i liked.  i was really happy with the way it turned out and enjoyed doing it.

abe had his spring concert for orchestra last night.  he skipped soccer and basketball to be there and i had a good time watching him play his cello.  he told me he might like to take choir and has been writing songs himself.  they are really good!!!   he is one creative kid.  it was also the art night and some of his art was chosen to be displayed.  the art teacher told him to write a children's book and illustrate it.   hmmm!  maybe a great summer project.   

i'm grateful for all the opportunities we have around us and
i delight in watching my kids develop their talents!
