Ready for Tonight?

I just wanted to post about the Stand Up 2 Cancer Event - on TV tonight at 7pm. I know everyone is somehow involved in the fight against cancer. Please donate if you are able, or even watch the event (we DVR'd it!) tonight. https://www.standup2cancer.org/donate_splash.asp

As for the Savage Family, we are doing quite well! Our two days in preschool this week were awesome - he just loves "school". Nicholas also started church choir this week. I grew up going to choir. In fact, my mom STARTED a children's choir at our church because I was 5 years old and there just HAD to be a choir for me. I don't consider myself exceptionally musical, but I LOVE music. From age 5, I sang solos in church, played the piano at church, and sang in the choir. I've been looking forward to Nicholas starting choir for a while now (do you really want to know how long? It's been several years!). On Wednesday night our church had a spaghetti supper for all kids joining choir & their families. We never turn down a meal, so off we went! After dinner, we went to choir. It was chaotic! There were 43 kids age 3 - Kindergarten in this particular group. I couldn't believe it! They herded all the children into the little room & sang for 30 minutes. I was slightly disappointed that I couldn't watch, but I peeked in the window enough to see Nicholas blankly staring at the leaders! On the way home, however, he sang several songs including "B-I-B-L-E (yes, that's the book for me)". So proud! It reminds me of a cute Nicholas story... one day last spring we were walking with Nicholas and he stopped, turned to Jason & me and said "God lives in our hearts" and kept walking. Again, so proud!

Matthew is doing wonderfully, waking up briefly in the 5am hour, we pacify him & he sleeps for another hour or so! He's wonderful! We love his smiles... Happy Friday!
