Murdock Update

Here is one of the promised pictures. This was at the parade before the Western Slope Invitational marching band competition on October 3rd. The gentleman who took it was there to get pictures of his son's band from Montezuma-Cortez area and couldn't resist getting a shot of Rollie enjoying the music.
First I have to apologize for the lack of pictures. They will come shortly, but we are in Co. Springs visiting my grandparents this week and we forgot our camera. We have a number of great pictures to share.
Boy, have I been busy these last couple of months. I often feel like I am just barely keeping my head above water. The students are good kids and they are normally very respectful. I have many students that I just adore. I have high school band, 2 high school choirs, and 2 bands in the middle school. That is a wide range of students and lesson plans. I am having a lot of fun with the music classes that I do have.
Benson is keeping busy keeping up with Rollie and me. I have him come in to help me at least once a week in the band and choirs. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He keeps me sane and keeps track of the little things for me. He has been going on long walks with Rollie and is trying to get into shape for wrestling season (he is going to be an assistant coach this season).
Rollie is growing by leaps and bounds. I swear that last week he grew a whole inch. One day he fit into his clothes, and the next day they were high waters. He now has 6 teeth and is getting ever closer to walking. He loves books and his grandma Murdock brought him some really great ones when she and Grandpa Murdock came to visit last week. He loves them!! He will pull them out of the bookshelf and look at them or bring them over to Mommy or Daddy to read. He plays peek-a-boo all the time and on the occasional game will say "peeeee-a- booooo" ADORABLE. He sings and jabbers all the time. Benson has even nick named him "Gib-Gab." He will sing along with the band and the choirs if he thinks that they are doing well and scream if they are not performing the music correctly. We are so very lucky to have this sweet, funny, cute, little guy in our lives.
We are all doing well and as I have already said we will post pictures later. Keep us in your prayers. We thank you for all of your support!
