Stringed Instruments

~ I took this photo during Josiah's violin concert this afternoon - May 9, 2010

This isn't the post I originally had in mind for today. Plan A involved a special Mother's Day picture of my mother and I together - a picture that never got taken, mind you. It's kind of hard to post it, if it only exists in my mind. So here is Plan B: a picture of Josiah performing in his first official concert. I was immensely proud of him as I watched him, but was mildly (ha!) distracted by the squirmy little boys we were trying to keep corralled and quiet. Lesson learned: if you want to actually enjoy the concert, don't even try to take a 2 year-old and a 9 month-old to it. I had thought about trying to find a babysitter, but who wants to babysit on Mother's Day?? So all the boys came with us...and kept us busy.

All that aside, it is a JOY to see Josiah progressing in his musical abilities; and I look forward to seeing how he praises God with the talents he's developing now!
