I have been told that I am remiss in my duties of updating the blog, I didn't have any new pictures until now. So, here's what's been happening.
The combined band made it to state through their performance at Western Regionals last weekend,(fall break week, so we didn't get any kind of break) and everyone involved is thumbing their noses at all the people that said this experiment wouldn't work. I am currently teaching one guitar lesson and will hopefully add a few more as soon as my back-ground check clears with the school district. (I submitted my application to the Vision School, which is the home-school branch of the district.) Demya's choir girls did fairly well this week at the district Solo and Ensemble contest(?). Gibbie is growing up faster than we want him to. This week he started saying his own prayers at dinner and night, usually remembering to give thanks for cookies and to ask for blessings for Mommy. He is bunny-hopping and he learned how to play on the monkey bars yesterday. At the park, he fits in a little better with the three year olds than he does the the kids his own age. He moves a little too fast for them and he's too strong for most of them. He is doing really well in nursery and hasn't hurt anyone including himself.
Demya was called to be the Secretary of the Primary Presidency two weeks ago and I'm loving my calling of Priesthood Opening Exercises Music Coordinator. We also get to sing in the choir on Sundays Gibby-free, because a couple "Grandmas" take the kids for the hour after block so everyone who wants to can sing. The only catch to dropping the kids off is you have to go to choir, you can't do anything else.
Cady is still alive and kicking and now letting Rollie try to ride her like a horse. She is being very patient with this new stage in her boy's life.
He enjoys attacking himself with his stamps and was very happy to show off his "Stamp and Apple Pie Face."
