This past Sunday evening we attended and greatly enjoyed Park Cities Presbyterian Church’s Remember Concert. A large choir with full orchestra accompaniment performed Duruflé’s Requiem and several other songs related to life after death (Be Still My Soul, For All the Saints, I Was Glad, Shall We Gather that the River, Down to the River to Pray, and Amazing Grace). The congregation was able to participate in singing and reciting some liturgy. Josh said singing For All the Saints with full orchestra, choir, and a large congregation was worth the whole evening. (And it was free!) We knew about it because one of Josh’s dissertation committee members is a member of the choir.
The church had free child care during the concert. Becca was excited about going to the “special place” and had a great time playing. It was nice for Josh and me to attend something without having to worry about finding a babysitter.
Tomorrow marks one month until Little Brother’s due date. All is going well. People keep asking me if I’m ready…I guess we’ll find out when the time comes. (Special thanks to R. Pringle for the new outfit – it was nice to get dressy for the concert.)
Joey is always willing to babysit if need be.
As soon as I read “For all the Saints” I thought, I bet that was Josh’s favorite. So glad you guys got to enjoy a night with no worries. You look marvelous. What happens if we say we aren’t ready anyway? Does that stop the process? 🙂 I have gotten that question a lot too. Can’t wait to meet little brother! Love to all!
You are looking fabulous Amy! Glad you got to have a free night out; those are the best! Hope the rest of the pregnancy goes well and we look forward to reading more updates! I never felt like I was really ready for the babies to arrive, but I just assumed i would figure everything out when the time came. Plus you never know what the baby will be like so I feel like you can’t really be totally ready anyway!
You look adorable!! And what a great concert! I’m so glad you got to go!
