WOW! That's all I can say to describe the amazing talent that is in the Anderson Area Children's choir. I am so proud and blessed that LeeAnn is a part of that organization. Her choir teacher for the past two years has been Sue Hartzell. She is an amazing lady who we have known forever from our church. She has so much patience and love for children. Unfortunately, LeeAnn will be moving up next year to the next level. It is bittersweet for us. Because we are proud of our girl for all her accomplishments and all that she has learned to move on to this next level, but at the same time we really love Mrs. Hartzell and hate to leave her. :( The concert yesterday was a combination of all the choirs from second grade all the way through high school. I can't even begin to express how talented this group of young people are. Sandi Patti's twins sang a duet with the oldest choir and they were absolutely amazing! I hope that someday LeeAnn will be able to pursue a career in music because I think she is definitely capable of it. She loves music more than anything. She is constantly singing no matter what she is doing. And she likes to make up her own songs. I am going to post some pictures that I took yesterday and there is one that I have already posted with us and Mrs. Hartzell. I just wanted to include that one again since she is so special to us. We love you Mrs. Sue and we will miss you! (We'll still see ya around though)
After the concert, mom, dad, me, Eddie, LeeAnn, and Jean all went out for dinner at Cracker Barrel. It was such a gorgeous day and we had a great time. Thanks mom and dad and Jean for going to see LeeAnn's final concert. It meant a lot to her! Unfortunately, Eddie had to work and missed it but I bought a CD recording of it. It won't be the same but at least he can hear the music they sang.
