A proud Mom Moment


I should be posting about great finds and what I'm creating out in my studio but I just have to say how incredibly proud I am of my kids. Three of them have taken band classes this year at a private Christian academy.They all had concerts this last week which were absolutely awesome. Aaron my 17 yearold, got talked into playing the tuba as it was desperately needed for the band. He couldn't read a note of music at the beginning of the year but somehow climbed to the highest band and played in the symphonic band most of the year. This band has taken state so many times they aren't allowed to compete any more. The concert was wonderful and at the end he was presented player of the year award. Quite an honor as only one kid gets picked each year. Yeah Aaron!!

Kathy,
How proud you must be, he obviously has talent and it's so great to encourage that!!!
I'd rather you post about your child's accomplishments any day, rather than what you "found". (Not that we don't enjoy seeing what you found or created.)
But I would certainly include your son in that category, they are a product of their environment and yours was obviously brought up in a very loving and nurturing one.
Congratulations to your son!!!!
