Scardy Dog

We have the most amazing thunder and lightening storms here in Houston and this morning brought the power of the heavens upon us. I awoke to a flash of light followed almost immediately by an amazing burst of thunder. I knew Grace was sure to join us in our bed and as suspected she did, however, so did Baxter. I laugh because he is so afraid of thunder and this morning it took at least 10 minutes of petting him before he stopped shaking. I love that Grace will run to us for comfort. She is such a snuggle bug and it was so cute to watch her trying to console Baxter seeing as she had come to us for the same need. Such a sweet soul. :)

Music to my ears!

I think most of you know that I am the Primary Chorister at church (music leader for 3-11 year-olds) and tomorrow is our Primary Program. We've worked all year learning and perfecting one new song every month and tomorrow is the big day. So ... this morning we had our practice run through and the kids were awesome!!! I am so excited for tomorrow, the kids are so well prepared and so good at following the cues. I am so proud of them already and they haven't even preformed yet. What a sweet treat it is for me to work with them all year.

Tomorrow I will present them with a bag of candy, (kisses, hugs and a candy corn mix) that will have a card attached with a message: All year you have 'grown' in your singing and today we have reaped the sweet 'harvest' of your music. All my 'hugs and kisses' to you, Love Sis. Will

I had to write that card down in my blog because I am laughing so hard at my total cheesy-ness.

Morning Beauty

Our family room is two stories tall and on the east wall, close to the top, is a large, long set of windows. The view from these windows is so different from the rest of the house as you only see the ever changing skies. I love what I notice, while in my house, that normally seems to slip from sight. This morning as I strolled down the stairs I looked out and saw the most beautiful sliver of a moon. What a beautiful world we have been handed, and what a treat to see such a beauty as I begin my day.
