Challenge UPDATE.....No Spending Sundays. - So far so good with No Spending money on Sundays. We have been planning ahead and making sure that we're ready to have lunch at home or with friends. It just gives us that much more family time together and learning to make do with what we have all ready. Love this about us. A favorite Sunday activity will be going to the Fairview Fountains/Beach area at The Villages of Fairview and let Aiden splash around in the spraying water. He did that for the first time this past week. Dee the video:
ACDA - National Convention Performance - Update:
- Well, the program is complete!! So much planning and excitement around this planning experience. Thank you to my friends who have helped make this an amazing program: Tescille Riser, Bethany Green, Denise Eaton, Amy Allibon, Sandra Snow, Carolyn Cruse and Kari Gilbertson. It's been awesome to share this with each of you and hear your feedback on the pieces. My favorites will be a piece in memory of my grandmother and accompanied by Denise Guilbert on Oboe, then the last piece is one that we are commissioning David Brunner to write. My friend Brooke Grall will be playing piano for us and hopefully it will have the use of other instruments. This piece will be in memory of one of my students who was killed in a car accident this past summer. He lived life to the fullest everyday and love music with all his heart. This piece will reflect what his life was about. Powerful and majestic.
Returning to School -
- Tonight I spent time planning some fun learning activities for my students and got the idea that I may try to publish them. There are various Sight-Reading games, Music Vocabulary Games, a Drop the Needle Type activity, and various others. Thank you Tescille for the inspiration again and encouragement.
I honestly feel very blessed for who I am, where I am, where I teach, what I teach, who I'm married to and blessed to have this beautiful child.
Thank you Lord for this amazing life that I am able to share it with others.
