Come What May and Love It

May has been a busy month. All the year end school events have kept us very busy, Concerts and field trips and add to that projects around the home. L was told that the Orchestra teacher wanted to put together some band insruments to accompany them at their year end concert. They were going to preform PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. He asked the Band teacher to announce tryouts for it. L walked into the room and Mr Hansen (the orcestra teacher) said I know how well you play you do not need to tryout. The part is yours. After that the choir teacher found out about the ensamble that had been put together and wanted the group to accompany the choir at their year end concert. Therefore L had band, orchestra, and choir concerts within 1 1/2 weeks. Not to mention the orchestra and choir concerts for H and D.

Happy Birthday to my Baby. Okay he is not a baby. He is 11 years old. For the last 11 years Hayden has only been healthy for maybe 3 of his birthday's. His health problems range from Asthma for the first 3 or 4 years to having his finger ran over by a training wheel on a bike and it broke his finger and ripped off the finger nail or he broke his arm the day before his 8th birthday. This year he has stuck with his tradition. The day before his birthday he got a gusher of a bloody nose. We tried for 20 minutes to get it to stop. Finnaly we took him into the comunity care and got a pack put into it. It was packed real tight. At one point he said, "Mom my nose feels like it is going to POP!" Poor boy! he stayed home from church on his birthday and did not go to school the next day after the packing was taken out for fear he would get bumped and start it all over again. I wish he would find a new yearly tradition. Maybe when he is 12 it will change!
