All through the day and long into the night

Yesterday was classic St. Richard Youth Choir.  So much work, so much music.  To give you an idea of how hard these young people work at this stuff, here is what they accomplished yesterday:

Emily, Claire and Ramsay spent another four hours rehearsing for and then later perfoming in an honor choir, went home briefly, and returned and worked for four hours as waitstaff at Supper and Substance.

James went to a History Bowl championship in Oxford and returned after that long hard day to help us clean the dining room at Supper and Substance.  It would have been so easy for him to just go home and not make the extra effort to come up to the church and put in an hour of labor, but he did, and that is just HOW WE ROLL around here.

Sean spent his day in the water at the State Swim meet.  We are hoping he returns having won many many events.  James will return to the State swim meet this morning (he left at 4:00 AM to head down there).

I did not get an opportunity to take many pictures because we were all in the kitchen so long, but I did manage to snap a few at break time:

Catherine, Chantele, Claire, Trey, Emily, and Mollie eating filet mignon and asparagus (thank Supper and Substance for feeding us your wonderful food!!!! )

No, James, we don't care that you're not in uniform, we appreciate that you came and you will be very helpful in clean up and no one will see you... :)
