Just Family Stuff

Yesterday afternoon we saw the kids' production of "Nate the Great," at Michigan State. Jeff has been reading these books for a couple of years. At the play he leaned over to tell Allie that he would read her one of his books.

Allie sat still and was very focused. Not sure that she understood some of the jokes and stuff, but she loved the dancing and singing. I could see her acting - the drama queen that she is. Seriously she has these songs she sings. If we had a pentocostal background, I'd say that she was speaking in tongues. It may be a mixture of Spanish, Chinese, and some female vocalist like Taylor Swift. The music is creative and the lyrics are pretty good theologically. She sings that "don't be afraid, God and Jesus are there. God loves Jesus and Jesus loves God. . . " Maybe it'll someday replace the age-old "Jesus Loves me" song.

Jeff and I have a student-led parent/teacher conference today. Asked him if there was anything he wanted to tell about BEFORE we went to his conference. He said no, it'll be good. He's a good kid. Then we are just hanging out at home til the evening. It'll be good to have some one-on-one time with just Jeff.
