We went to the kids' school Christmas program tonight. The K and 1st graders started off the show with about six songs. The best part was the little girl to the right behind Cameron. Poor thing needed to go potty, and we saw it getting progressively worse with each song.
Ok, I understand that this is not very nice to post for the poor little girl, but it was HILARIOUS! So, for your viewing pleasure here is one of Cam's songs (this one was cute because the kids didn't know that there would be Santa that was "stuck" in a chimney responding to their singing so the kids thought it was so funny every time he said something) ....
While the mayans have declared that the world should end in nine days and though what goes on around us may look that way, it could just happen to be that the world is scared as I have finished my MBA program and the everyone is just scared!
However, with this accomplishment I have to say that I could not have completed this journey without the loving and support of my wife. I started this journey back in 2009 to obtain my bachelors degree and now after three years I have accomplished not only receiving my bachelors degree, but also a masters degree. Everyday that I struggled on completing the assignments that I had and I would lose the drive to finish; it was my wife and my children who were right there next to me supporting me and helping me cross the finish line. While I struggled with the motivation to complete school - my wife was my true inspiration for finishing. I have also watched my wife obtain her teaching degree and also being a wife, mother and inspiration to everyone around her.
There are not enough words that could describe the love and admiration that I have for Tracy. She is my rock and I depend on her everyday of my life and truly love her with all of my heart. I know that she is loved by all those around her and I have seen the lives of kids in which she has helped teach look up to her and everytime they see her walking down the hall of the school, grocery store or wherever they see her they will run to her and give her the biggest hug ever and then want to introduce her to their parents. It is truly a site to marvel at and know that the Lord has blessed her with love and compassion for everyone.
Not only has my wife been an inspiration, but I have also wanted to set the example for my children and let them know that school is very important in life and it will take you wherever you want to go as long as we put our minds to it and never give up. There were many time in which the kids themselves have told their dad that he is grounded, because he has not finished his schoolwork. I feel that I am truly a fortunate soul and that with the wife, the kids and the family that I have - the Lord has truly blessed me.
To my wife and my children. I LOVE YOU and thank you for your continued support each and everyday.
Daelyn's school chorus group, and Cameron's school class, were both asked to be in the Reidville Christmas parade... so Josh, Brendan, and Mommy went to watch them. (It is a lot like a two hour long Richfield 4th of July parade, but with a Christmas theme and Christmas candy. I think Josh felt right at home ;)
SNOWBALL Leaf fight!
The kids are used to playing in the snow this time of year in the past. But they don't really seem to mind playing in the leaves (in about 60-70 degree weather) instead!!
Daelyn had her Christmas chorus concert tonight. Out of all of the kids in all of the school district choruses, Daelyn was chosen to be a lead elf. She was such a cute little elf. Good job Daelyn!!
Here she is in her costume before we left the house.
