Ear Training 2 Choir Camp

All these kids spent a week going through Ear Without Fear Volume 2, playing ear training games on the computer, and singing.  We were glad to share some of our music at the nursing home, too!

Audrey's New Baby



This rag doll was a gift from Nana to Eva, but Audrey quickly claimed it as her own.  Thankfully, Eva doesn't mind sharing.

Macbeth

Anna and Lewis had their first experience on a college stage this summer at ASU Beebe's Shakespeare camp. They worked hard to memorize the Shakespearean language and learn their roles in daily afternoon rehearsals for several weeks, and both really want to do it again next summer!

Evangeline's Seventh Year

Here's another sweet reason to celebrate.  Eva has lost lots of teeth this year, but she's gained plenty more in the way of piano skills and academic accomplishments.  We are proud not only of those things, but also of her sweet spirit and fun loving personality.  Full steam ahead, Eva!  We look forward to cheering you on as you continue to learn and grow to become the young lady God has planned for you to be.



Grammy outdid herself with another prize winning castle cake for the July/August extended family birthday bash.  The youngest honorees were duly impressed.

Cael Man Is Five!


We Love You, Cael!

This big boy can read, play piano, and do math like nobody's business.  More importantly, he's always ready with a smile or a hug or a lovingly crafted piece of artwork.  He is blessing to our family every day.

Anna's Car

Anna and Grandad worked hard on this convertible Mustang model for her birthday sleepover.  She started saving for a real one years ago when Grandad got his real one.  She has a few years of saving to go still, but this project might help keep her inspired.
