The Choir

Our school competed again this year at the ACSI Fine Arts Festival.  This year for the first time we had a full choir to participate.  Douglas worked diligently all year with each section of the choir (alto, bass, tenor, soprano) during lunch and sometimes after school.  He was thinking about what music they would sing last SUMMER!  They  performed 'Oh Danny Boy' and 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic'.  They all did a marvelous job!

Megan sang a solo and Doug accompanied her on the piano.  Doug also played a piano piece as well.  The school took home blue ribbons all around.  Well done!

The Oscar's

 No gangsters no flappers.  More guys than gals at the Oscar's.  Lots of pretty dresses and slick lookin' fellows!

 Dance instructions for beginning swing has everybody on the floor twirlin' and laughing.  People make funny faces when they dance...

 No partner...no problem...

 The girl on fire (AKA Hunger Games)  Kirsten's dress would light up when she twirled!

 Bow tie lessons occurred tonight, aren't they dazzling?

Red carpet, roaring 20's.

Parade of Flowers

My husband is the most romantic guy this side of the Atlantic!  He throws the best parties!  Tonight, in honor of Valentine's Day and all 4 couples celebrating 19 years of marriage, we gathered together to reacquaint ourselves with our one true love!

The evening kicked off with a serenading of this trio.

Sushi for dinner

Then the ceremony began.  Each hubby had a dozen flowers for their best girl.  One at a time the guys took turns gifting each individual flower along with a scripture, memory, song, poem, or encouragement that meant the most to him to his wifey.  There was so many tears of joy and overwhelming emotion that we never wanted to flowers to end.  It was dear and thoughtful and a forever tuck-away-memory.

 There were LOTS of kisses happening!!

They lite the chandelier one at a time to represent Christ as our light, our centerpiece in our marriages.

 Each couple signed a covenant of our love and devotion and commitment to our marriages and to be accountable to each other in our journey.

 Here stand the most blessed 4 gals this side of the Atlantic!! 

I am my beloveds and he is mine,

It did snow in February

There was one morning in February (I think it was Saturday the 11th) that it snowed very briefly.  My Gabe managed to use all the snow in the front yard to conjure up a snowman.  Thank goodness for my camera that holds these occurances that my brain tends to forget! 

Coram Deo,
