Nothing much

I have nothing much to talk about but thought I'd ramble a bit. Tuesday the girls had a band concert at one of the High schools. They were combining with all the Elementary bands in Dubuque so they had to go in at 2pm to practice all after noon and the concert was at 7pm. I haven't volunteered yet for one of these things so I felt it was my turn. I sat all afternoon with about 120 4th and 5th grade band brats. The percussionist are the worst, climbing stacked bleachers, playing in announcers booth...you name it they tried it. Anyhow, They fed them pizza about 6pm in the cafeteria. Molly sat with the few kids she knows and Abby just kinda sat in the middle of the room with nobody she knew, as she is quieter and doesn't know the kids that well. I kinda watched her from across the room and felt a little bad but thought she was fine. After she got her pizza and pop and sat down she folded her hands, bowed her head and prayed over her lunch. I have to say as a mom my heart melted. As a kid I would never have had the nerve to do that in public school. I have to remember that on days she is challenging my every word that if her determination is directed the right way God can do great things with her. Parenting is so hard sometimes and I thank God he gives us little encouragements now and then.
