She didn't disappoint

You might have wondered how I came up with the name "The Steeple People". It's actually a funny little story. Our church has a preschool choir for children ages 3-5. Being as Avery falls into that category she has Harmony Hoppers every Sunday night and they perform as a group about every 6 weeks usually falling in line with some type of holiday. Avery is a performer. She loves the attention, but once she realizes she has it, she's not always quite sure what to do with it. That's when things get a little crazy. After the first few performances the staff at church decided to rename the Harmony Hoppers. What did they come up with? You got it... Avery and the Steeple People. The name fits better than I would like. The other children are quite a bit older than Avery and so they don't "entertain" quite like she does. Here are some of the comments I've received... and I'm not sure they are compliments.



I love it when the children sing. I make sure no one is blocking my view so I can see Avery.



I can't wait to see what she will do today.



I can't wait to watch the "show".



Avery was having fun today wasn't she. (The pastor... from the pulpit!)



You get the idea. So it starts Sunday morning. The kids go up on stage and Avery looks down to see me in the front row with the regular camera. So she comes back down and asks (loudly) "Where is the video camera?" After assuring her that she is being recorded she goes back up. However, it's mother's day so I got a little surprise too. I got to stand up there with her. They sang a song and Avery danced, and dusted off her skirt and giggled. There wasn't much singing going on, but she sure was cute... and everyone was grinning when they were done. Avery and The Steeple People have done it again!
