A Bragging Mama Day
Today was one of those days that you just feel like the mother of the most amazing kids in the world! This morning was the O Ambassadors 5K and this evening was the premier concert of Noteworthy.
O Ambassadors is a club started by Oprah Winfrey. The kids raise money for world charities as well as service projects here at home. The 5K through Olde Town was to help them raise money for a trip to New York and the United Nations in the spring. There were about 60 participants of all ages, and we scattered adults all the way through the pack so none of the kids was alone. Barry took the front, as there were kids that wanted to run. The first two kids to finish were Daniel and his buddy Cameron, a little boy who was hit by a car in our neighborhood earlier this year. It made me so happy to see this little guy running happily ahead of me! Aaron and I finished about 7th and 8th.
This evening we attended the performance of Noteworthy, the honor chorus made up of kids from 3 of our middle schools. They were fabulous!!!! The kids were right on each note. The boys surprized me with how deep their voices are. None of these kids were over 8th grade! Of course we had the whole family: Us, Mama, Granny & Papa, and Bob. Papa had the best seat in hs wheelchair at the end of the row. He looked right down the aisle at Aaron while he sang.
It was a beautiful day, and I am truly blessed to have these super boys.
