A good day for our Big Boy…
Finish Line!
He ran in Awesome 3000, a K-12 cross country-style fun run. A big deal for Salem with 3,200 kids registered this year! It was a SEA of orange T-shirts and skinny legs. I find it really amazing that all of those kids found their way back to the correct parents. Kinder and 1st graders run a 1500m course, and the older kids run 3K. Owen finished in 8:20, and seemed to have a good time. His buddy is finishing just in front of him.
Clearly, very cool boys
Then, we had a soccer game. (No pics–just imagine little boys in shinguards kind of actually playing soccer!)
Then, Â it was time for Owen’s first piano recital. He’s been taking lessons for about 3 months.
Grandma Judy sent a new shirt and I ironed his pants. He, being the “youngest” student, played his pieces first. He didn’t make any mistakes and didn’t lose his composure when he had a small issue with a very large piano.
After the recital, Owen and his buddy (with some help from Sara) played a duet that they have been learning.
"Whistling"
I’m working on a snippet of video that Peter took of Owen’s favorite song “Big Ben”! Sort of reminds me of the 5th grade band playing Good King Wenceslaus at the Holiday Concert… Hopefully will post it soon.
We do have 2 OTHER children, remember. They are cute too, and we do take pictures of them. More on that later !
