Touched by an Angel (week 520)


After months of practice, the big Children's Choir musical "Touched by an Angel" finally arrived! There were a lot of rehearsals on Sundays after church, Tuesday night pizza parties and practices, a float in the Belmont Shore Christmas Parade, and car rides listening to our songs repeatedly and reading our scripts, before we finally delivered the big play to a packed house of family and friends on a Sunday morning at Bayshore.  

We are super grateful to our parents, grandparents, families, friends, co-workers, and community members who came to the play, and came to our house after for brunch to celebrate.  In particular, thanks to our family--Grammy, Grandpa John, Grandpa Mike, Grandma Paula, Aunt Karen, Uncle Ron, Cousin Robin--who drove from the Central Coast for the day to see the play.  They put in at least 10 hours of driving or train rides to see one 30 minute play, but we are so grateful that we got to share it in person.

While Chris seems to be set on the start of an acting career and a life in the theater, I have already stated that this may be my last Children's Choir play given that I am becoming the oldest, tallest boy out there.  It may be the end of one era and the start of another.
