We had to clear out our basement in preparation for some contractors to start working down there. This means the drums are now temporarily living upstairs in our front room / play room. I predict that we will hear them a lot in the next few months! Basement before: Basement after:

Basketball
Today was Bree’s first basketball game with Upwards Sports. She doesn’t know the rules yet, but she ran a lot and I am so proud of her for trying something new. (And she is the only girl on her team!) Bree said it was fun. She was a little overwhelmed by all the action and […]
First Violin Recital
Adrianna started playing violin about 8 months ago. Today was her first recital. She is learning how to play “double stops” (playing two strings at once). That is her teacher accompanying her on the cello. I think the song is called the Crawdad song. They listed it as an American folk piece. I am excited […]
Piano Recital 2016
The second song Adrianna is playing is one that she arranged herself from a song she heard online. I love that she sits down and plays new compositions or arrangements often. (Right now she is working on some new arrangements from the computer game UnderTale.) This was Bree’s first recital. She was nervous but she […]
Awoken
Adrianna’s newest song. She didn’t write the original song, but this is her arrangement of it. She found the song, called Awoken, on a Minecraft fan-fiction video on Scratch. The original song can be heard here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/41118020/ Adrianna enjoys composing and arranging songs that have a haunting quality about them.
Thankful
Today I am thankful for a new church home and community (even if it requires stepping out of this introvert’s comfort zone!), sweet friends with whom I can share real life struggles, a husband who encourages me to take regular time off for myself, and the joy of watching my daughters delight in the wonder […]
My Little Pony Memory
Bree playing “My Little Pony Memory” with Heartsy and Eeyah. If I remember right, Eeyah won.
2014 Piano Recital
Adrianna had her piano recital yesterday. She played three songs:Â “Over in the Meadow,” “New World Symphony,” and “Quiet Thoughts.” She learned how to play “Over in the Meadow” on her own, by ear. We are so proud of Adrianna and how much she practiced for her performance. Aunt Karen, Nanna, and Grandpa drove down to […]
Spring Choir Concert
Adrianna’s homeschool co-op had their spring choir concert and it was fantastic! I think the Muppets songs at the beginning are my favorite, but they all are pretty cute. Adrianna is in the 2nd row toward the middle. “It’s a Hard-Knock Life” Not long after the elementary choir was done with their part of the […]
Alice in Wonderland’s Dancing Trees
The dance classes at our homeschool co-op put together a fun performance of Alice in Wonderland. Adrianna’s class performed as Celtic Dancing Trees.
