Matthew in the Spotlight


Matthew played a duet in the band concert last night. That may not seem remarkable to many of you, but here are a few things you need to know about Matthew: He hates to be in front of people--he has yet to sing with the primary for Mother's Day. He hates to get dressed up. He hates to be the center of attention, unless of course he is talking Pokemon Mystery Dungeon strategy. He is not big on collaboration. He is not much for extra effort.

Now, here are a few things you need to know about last night: He volunteered to play the duet. He wore a white shirt and a tie AND his shoes. He stood at the front of the stage. There were several hundred people in attendance. He played with another person. He bowed.

Wow, that is just about all I can say...wow. I wish I had had my camcorder.
PS: Matthew plays the baritone. He didn't mess up.

Nice Job Matthew. That is hard to do when you don't crave the spotlight. I've got a lot of spotlight-cravers so timidity is rare in our house.

Beth, maybe this is the start of something beautiful.

We love reading about the Passey adventures.

You should have told us that you don't have many guests - we'd have come over from Texas!

Love y'all!
