Busy Week

Part of being in a small town is having a lot of family around. My extended family is huge so this time of year is usually extremely busy.
Last night the elementary students had a spring concert. They were very well prepared and put on a great show. It lasted about an hour and a half, a bit longer than usual, because it was the last concert under the direction of our current elementary music teacher. He will be leaving us after 9 years here. The kids have learned a lot from him and he will be missed. Our elementary includes grades kindergarten through 6th and even the youngest ones were playing instruments and keeping the beat. It was great.
Tonight is the Baccalaureate for this years graduating seniors. Tomorrow is the Head Start graduation ceremony. Friday is the day of High School graduation and the 8th grade promotion is on Saturday.
I've got at least one family member involved in everything. I love being surrounded by so much family. It's comforting to know that I have a support system close by should I ever need one.
