We invited some friends over for dinner tonight. We had a good time hanging out and they introduced us to Congolese Seben music. It was a lot of fun to watch everyone take turns on the drums and guitars. The littler girls played with play-doh while the older kids (and adults) jammed in the music […]

February 2020 (1 Second Everyday)
About midway through the month of February, I downloaded the app 1 Second Everyday. A friend from college had been posting monthly snippets from his life and they were fun to watch, so I decided to give it a try. I can’t stop from watching our clips over and over again. It is so much […]
Night of the Stars
Adrianna decided to participate in the local talent show again this year, Night of the Stars. Bree and Cate decided to give it a try, too! All three girls played the piano. Adrianna played “Other Friends” from the movie Steven Universe. Bree played “Brumm’s Accordian” from the video game HollowKnight, and Cate played “Drift Away” from […]
Quick Trip to Nebraska
We made a quick trip to Nebraska for the funeral of a college friend, Angie Green. She leaves behind her husband and six children. It was a beautiful service, a celebration of her life. I cannot help but think of their family often. We left on Tuesday night, staying at a hotel in Ogallalla. Then […]
High School Choir
Adrianna is in her homeschool co-op’s high school choir this year. This was their first performance of the year and it was great! I missed recording the first song (mainly because I couldn’t spot Adrianna from my seat) so I quickly moved to the very back where I could stand up and see her (and […]
Musical Glasses
Bree started tapping out one of her little tunes on some glasses after breakfast. She then started adding/removing water to change their pitches and eventually added even more to her lineup. It was pretty special, considering that her great-grandfather used to play the musical glasses.
Hi, Dad!
Greg had to fly to Seattle for a week of meetings. When we found out the approximate time his plane would fly over our house, we hung around outside so we could wave. The girls had fun shouting, “Hi, Dad!” to two possible planes that could’ve been his flight.
Piano Recital
The girls had their annual piano recital today. Adrianna played two pretty songs, the first of which she even played blindfolded! Which is pretty cool, considering how much her fingers are required to jump around the keys! Next up was Cate, who played “The Grand Finale.” I am so impressed that she is playing with […]
Bree Playing the Guitar
If you leave instruments out and available, they will get played. 🙂 I found Bree picking out her “Bird Ponies” song on Greg’s guitar and couldn’t resist recording the cuteness.
First Day of Spring
The first day of spring didn’t disappoint.
