In addition to Hayden going to college today, Maggie had her singing debut. Her Sunday school class along with a few other classes were scheduled to sing in church this morning. We had a few tears before we left for church, and then we had A LOT after we dropped her off in her class. She apprehensively walked into the auditorium and took her place on the stage. Despite the fact that she new all the words and accompanying hand motions, she looked like a deer caught in the headlights...at one point she put her little hands up to her eyes and wiped away a few stray tears. I took everything within me not to walk up there, put my arms around her, and take her off the stage...Nonetheless, she made it through both songs. She didn't sing, but she didn't cry either, and she didn't walk off the stage like Hayden did the first time she "performed" in big church. So we are proud of Maggie's accomplishment. All in all, this was a REALLY BIG DAY for all involved. Oh, if you can launch the video, note that they stuck Mag in between the "groove" brothers, so her performance, or lack thereof, is even more noteworthy.
