I spent all day cleaning my house for the imminent arrival of my parents. I now desperately need a shower, but don't have time for that. Ah well. They love me anyway, right?
The girls have their Songs of the Season choir concert this Sunday. I'm really excited about it. They sounded awesome during dress rehearsal yesterday. I found myself grinning from ear to ear the whole time. All the younger choirs walk in to the beat of African drums and then the first song they sing is an African celebration song called Bonsai Aba. The translation of the song is "All who sing have the right to be called the children of God." It makes me teary just thinking about the beauty of a hundred children's voices singing that and dancing along. My mom is going to LOVE IT!! She'll cry. Yes, she will.
And I'm just happy to see my parents. I love them so much, I can't even tell you. Even when my mother and I totally rub each other the wrong way, we love each other. And I had the best childhood ever. Seriously, I doubt anyone could top it. My ambition in life is to be half the parents mine were. So yeah, I'm happy today. I'm determined to take pictures this time.
my parents,
girls
