So, today's post is about Riley. I'm posting a little later because I didn't get much sleep last night.
First of all, Riley made the all-region jazz band and his concert was last Thursday night. It was amazing! As Riley said, it was all "legit" music, very difficult, and the band performed very well. Their clinician, Bobby Guess, was great, took the all-guy band through kind of a history of jazz through the pieces he chose for them to play. He also spoke at length with them about being able to play jazz their entire lives, despite the careers they chose. It was great.
Riley will be going to Austin tomorrow for the rest of Thanksgiving break, so he wanted to have "the Bros" over again. So, we did. I cooked his favorite meal, made a few snacks, and they've had a great time. I fell asleep on the couch and woke up at 3:00am and realized they were all mostly asleep, except Zach, who was still hungry. Anyway, I went on to bed, and guess what? The house is still standing!
My take: I am so thankful that Riley has such great friends! I'm very proud of him and the choices he's making so far in so many areas. And all I have to say is, Thank God! This parenting thing is hard...
