As promised, here are some pictures of our summer fun! Benjamin is watching “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” as I upload them this morning. We ate some coffeecake for breakfast, and we’ll be heading to the library for storytime later this morning. I’m looking forward to an easy afternoon … hopefully to get some rehearsal plans [...]

“Easter Bunny: Come In!!!
Happy Easter! It was a beautiful, partly sunny Easter day. I got up and did my normal Sunday-morning-routine …although I couldn’t help thinking of all the sunrise services I’ve either played for, attended to, or participated in… and felt like something was missing this Easter.

In the four weeks we’ve lived in Minnesota, our sweet boy has managed to get three free cookies from local businesses and the like. Cookie #1: Target meat counter. Uh-huh. We were getting a pound of rare roast beef and a few slices of provolone for our Philly sandwiches later that night for supper. Mr. [...]
