I'm sure everyone has had their fill of photos of Emma doing the Sword dance and Highland Fling, but we had a special treat this weekend and I thought I'd at least put a few pics up to show the venue. The Detroit Concert Choir performed a "Celtic Collection" concert at St. Mary's in Greektown and Emma's teacher invited some of her dancers to participate in the program. The church (cathedral?) was beautiful - lived in Detroit almost my whole life and have never been inside - and it provided a really neat setting for the music. The music was a blend of Irish, Scottish and Welsh songs and the dancing was sprinkled in to add to the experience. It was a lot of fun - I would highly recommend anyone with Celtic connections to consider it next year. The photos are a little crooked - I was shooting from the hip at the end of my pew. :)

It was an "Emma Weekend" because we also enjoyed Emma's girls choir singing in church on Sunday in worship. She performed with the adult choir and one of the pieces was Kyrie Elaison - one of my absolute favorites! Such a powerful in-your-face song that is impossible not to feel moved by - it was awesome!! We were doubly blessed this weekend.

That was it - we had a hiatus from soccer this week which made room for the NCAA madness to kick in! Between MSU and St. Patrick's Day we're swimming in green at our house. Not to mention we have our own wee Shannon. Should be a fun week - Go Green!!!
