When I watched my little girl singing Monday night in her choir performance there were tears in my eyes.  Yep, I am now one of those sappy 41 year old moms now.  I am proud to stand up and admit that (plus I have to own it because Joey called me out on it)….what a sap I am! 

Monday night I had the sheer pleasure of seeing my daughter sing and it was music to my ears……

I now get why my parents dragged themselves to all those band concerts of mine!  Pay back time……

I was proud to sit there, be in the moment and watch my girl singing her heart out….

If I do not take advantage of these moments they will all too soon be gone………and I am proud to say that her brothers feel the same way.  I caught Tyler in this candid moment proudly "watching" his sister….

I think he truly gets how fleeting these moments are and I so appreciate him being there to support her.  I know she does too. (don't worry, I painted eye balls on his lids and she never suspected).

Oh how I love this crazy little job they call "Mom"………..may they all put me in the nicest home available :)  and may the sound of my daughter's voice be what continually plays in my head.
