Happy Veterans' Day!

 Last Friday T and his fellow first-graders dazzled us with a sweet Veterans' Day performance.  I enjoy chances like this to highlight one of the kids particularly.  So often they are part of the mix and don't get special recognition!  Not on Friday--T was the star!

 T was so excited to see us in the audience--Mimi, Papa, Daddy, Mama, and V, all there to see him!

T had a special role in the performance, getting to say some lines about our nation's flag.  "Our current flag has 13 stripes, 7 red and 6 white.  These stripes represent the 13 original colonies that created our country." He did a fine job and said his part well.

Afterward, the kids sang a military medley with each of the branches of the military represented.  Mimi, Papa, and GG all stood and were recognized when the Army portion was sung.  Family military pictures played in the background on a powerpoint--it was really special!  I am so proud of our family's military heritage!

Thanks for the special day, T!  Love you!
