AMEN!

It must have all started about a week ago.  Noah has always enjoyed hopping and skipping around the house.  He will jump about, skip around in circles, and just lets loose from time to time.  Usually, we have no idea what he is up to or what might be going through his little mind.  This time was different.   

While Mom and Dad were finishing supper and Noah had been long been excused from the table, we heard what appeared to be singing coming from the living room.  It wasn’t the television but that was Noah’s voice.  He kept singing the same word, over and over, with a distinct melody that we couldn't quite place.  Then it dawned on us as to what that song might be.  He was singing the 'Amen' song (perhaps there is another name for it)!  We were able to pick it out after a round or two because Noah had been absolutely nailing the melody in an old-time gospel fashion.  Needless to say, we were more than a little surprised.  I guess it's obvious that he has been paying attention when they get together and sing at school.  With a little prodding, we got him to belt-it-out in Fredericksburg over the weekend for Grandpa and Grandma Reeder.  We are actively trying to capture it on video, stay tuned.

If you're not familiar with the song, sit back, open your ears real-wide and listen to the soothing sounds of Wintley Phipps.
