Welcome Home!
Wyn played for a homecoming ceremony at the Middle School yesterday. The community welcomed home the 1st AD that had been deployed to Iraq for a year. He had been practicing for a few weeks to be able to march and drum at the same time. The parade lasted about 10 minutes and he played the marching cadence the whole time. Kind of like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time for a 7th grader. But he did a great job and I was very proud of him. It was very moving to see those great soldiers home again safe and sound!

Could he BE any cuter???
Is that Shay's old "Security" sweatshirt he's wearing. I swear, everyone has worn that at one time or another!!!
I never got to wear it.
i was totally going to comment that it was my security hoodie...which when he grows out of...i want back. when any of the kids grow out of their hoodies...i want them. i have dibs on the security one...not logan
I speak that Jud gets to wear it first then Shay gets it back.
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum! What a great Little Drummer Boy you make. I was the Little Clarinet Boy, but it was so hard to weave that into a Christmas Story. I imagine that if a little Clarinet Boy had played for the babe in the manger, the mother would have come out and scolded him and say, "What is that terrible sqeaking and squacking sound that is waking up my child?" I would have had to explain that the only real song I new was LADY OF SPAIN, and while it was not exactly a lullaby, it is a nice tune for the clarinet or a well-played accordian. I think I missed out on the little ANYTHING boy and I envy this little guy for his determination and resolve to be the best drummer in the whole family. Now, go and beat that drum, my boy! Beat that drum like the wind!
You crack me up, Uncle Carl. This isn't, by any chance, the nose clarinet, is it???
wait. you mean to tell me carl can play an instrument AND has a lovely singing voice? talk about a double threat...
I think our neighbors have had enough of both Kemsley drummer boys. And the one French Horn girl. They'll be happy to see us go I'm sure.
Carl, what are you smoking?
