New (to me) Music

I am SO excited!! I have heard several songs lately on some CD's and have been looking for the music for them. I finally found them tonight! We have groups at church that sing special music and a person in that group gets to choose the music. I have lots of new choices now and I am so excited to share the music. Can't wait until it is my turn to choose! What a blessing to have good Christian music to listen to!

Patch the Pirate Club

During the school year, our church does the Patch the Pirate Club each Wednesday. We have some very dedicated workers that teach the children the songs, stories, and verses each week. Luke graduated from the program last year. And this year was Haley's first year. They performed two weeks ago. I asked Haley if she was going to sing her best. She replied, "I don't know none of those songs!" I encouraged her to do her best. That night, sure enough, she sings not a word!! She was either very nervous or she really didn't know the songs. I don't how the latter is possible, but we WILL be working on the songs for the next performance. I will admit that she looked awfully cute!

Fall

Many of these posts are going to be out of order. I am so far behind. The kids were photographers for me and Aaron last week. This is the best one we got. I am really looking forward to having professional pictures taken this year.

Luke is 11!

This year Luke's birthday was on Labor Day--the day he was actually born. I know, how fitting, right? He had several friends over this year for a sleepover. They played football, the Wii, the Wii, the Wii, and watched a movie. Some of the boys were up before 6:oo the next morning. Obviously, they had a great time and wanted to continue with all the fun.

Luke is in 6th grade. He is still not crazy about school, but has improved this year. He is playing the trombone in the band. He was able to play in his first JV basketball game this school year. Basketball is a huge highlight for him. He so enjoys playing!
