Tonight Noah had his 6th grade band concert. It was quite good and I always enjoy watching my kids do something they enjoy. Noah plays percussion and does a little of everything. He loves it but the downfall is he is always in the very back and we can never see him. I tried and tried to get some decent footage but all you can see is the top of his head and the drumsticks moving about. They played several pieces, most surprisingly they played a beautiful version of Jesus Loves Me. Even in the conservative South this is something that took me by surprise. It was a good surprise. I am happy that my son has a teacher that isn't afraid to play something that could be seen as controversial by some folks these days. Tomorrow I may attempt to put some footage here of them playing. (I just tried to download it and not only did I not succeed with that I also accidentally erased it- :0( )

Another little thing on my mind right now it this new flu bug. I do not know if China would close their borders but if my trip to China was postponed because of this flu I am going to be so upset.
I just am praying that we get out of here before anything drastic happens. We only have 9 days to get through! (yes, I did just type a single digit-we are going to China in 9 days! )Please pray that NOTHING keeps us from going next week! Thanks!
