Creekside Kids Theater – See the Morning

Micah started school almost one month ago. We’re slowly getting into our daily and weekly rhythms. Micah is in the first grade. He has the same teacher and classmates as last year. Since everyone already knows each other, “they can get straight to business,” as his teacher likes to say. =) Micah is in his third year at Awana and also has weekly rehearsals for “A Year With Frog and Toad.”

While Micah is in school, Bekah and I are enjoying MOPS (5th year) and attending women’s bible study (6-1/2 years with the same group). We fill our other mornings with library storytimes, play dates, classes at Sulphur Creek Nature, toddler ramble at the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center, and volunteering once a month at MOPS in Alameda. We’re keeping busy! 😉

Here’s my first grader on his first day of school.

Micah got a scooter for his 6th birthday from friends. He’s been riding it to/from school…and absolutely LOVES it!

Here’s to another great year!

This past weekend, Micah performed in Creekside Kids Theater production of “Schoolhouse Rock – Live!” The week of rehearsals leading up to opening night is called the “Week of Insanity.” Normally, we have one 1-hour rehearsals per week but during the week of insanity, the kids have four 2-hour rehearsals. The many hours of rehearsing paid off! The 176 kids in the show did an amazing job! They performed 3 times – Friday evening, and Saturday afternoon & evening. I’m still singing the songs in my head…sometimes out loud too. 😛

Here are a couple of pictures from one of the rehearsals. My thespian is wearing the R2D2 shirt. =)
