Junior Ring Ceremony

 My junior received his class ring.  He did not want a tradition high school ring (who's surprised?).

Douglas is faithful to play the piano at Chapel every Wednesday.  The Headmaster said he is not going to graduate him so that he can continue to keep playing for chapel as well as most school events.  What a gift!  We all kind of take it for granted that Doug will play, and one day he will be in college and boy are we going to miss him and his music!  I am happy to report that his younger brother is now playing during memory period at the grammer school so hopefully the legacy will carry on.  I am so proud of my boys serving the Lord with their gifts and talents.

Coram Deo,

The Gift of Giving

 The spotlight is on my Gabanator again.  He collected 56 quarters to fit inside of that M&M container.  Those 56 quarters will be sent to Global Aid Network to then feed 56 children a nutritious meal.  It took him a few weeks to gather them but he perserved and was able to give a true life-giving gift.  Small hands can contribute and make a difference.  Way to go Gabe!

Gabe with his best girl Aidan.  They are two peas in a pod!

Swimmin' in the Tub

 Beavers In the Bathroom

There are beavers in the bathroom

swimming circles in the tub

where the beavers have decided

to convene their swimming club.

In their little beaver Speedos

and their beaver bathing caps,

they've been splashing rather happily

while practicing their laps.

They've been studying the butterfly,

the backstroke and the crawl,

and it's obvious they like it

and they're having quite a ball.

For we hear them all the time

but we don't see them anymore,

ever since they built a beaver dam

behind the bathroom door.

--Kenn Nesbitt

Languishing the days of summer already...he asks,
"Where are my goggles?"

Maestro'

 I think it was mid July when Doug started thinking about directing the choir at school.  "What should we do for Christmas?" he asked me.  No visions of sugar plums dancing in his head but what music should be chosen for this years choir which was now going to have girls and guys...big addition!  He started pouring through music and you tube for ideas.  Talk about being jazzed about something, this is kid is made for this!

 He is still teaching piano students along with directing the choir, juggling several honors classses, directing the play at school, and taking his own piano lessons at the conservatory.  'Keep em busy!' my pastor's wife says.

 The girls along side of him are part of the team for getting the choir to run smoothly. 

This was their first performance at the Country Club.  They sang O Danny Boy, and Holy, Holy, Holy.  They sounded wonderful!

Coram Deo,

Powdered Kisses

 A new member of the Price family has arrived, #5!  I ran down for a quick visit and like any good Auntie, I brought books and powdered donuts!

 Some of us are neater in our powdered eatings than others.  Big sister can show you how!

 Now what's the eldest child to do with all these girls and a new baby brother?  Read, of coarse!

 The new mama, six days after delivery in her jeans, what is up with that??

 Jude Benjamin

 Kind and sweet, polite and so very dear to my heart are these kiddos!

Ezra, he likes his watch, he likes his books, he says he even likes his little sisters and new baby!  Future leader of the world, you're lookin at him!

Coram Deo,
