Getting Ready for the big night.
Morgan got a haircut.
So did Emma, Fiona, Garrett and Abby. Even I got my hair cut.
Waiting for the recital to start.
Doesn’t he look handsome in his tux?
Fancy and proud of it!
His teacher, Mrs. Janet Walsh is in the red jacket.
Here’s the big performance. I missed the first 3 notes in my recording.
Kelsey and Morgan stayed inside a little longer listening to a young man (Mrs. Walsh’s son) play the piano. Before they came out, I got everybody in the van. I was worn out from keeping Emma and Abby out of trouble the whole time. But it was a night to remember and worth every bit of preparation and work. We love you, Mrs. Walsh, and we will always remember you. You gave Morgan the best start with violin that he could have had. You were a wonderful teacher. We hope to find a good one in Texas, but you will always be his first violin teacher.
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
