Busy Sundays...


Busy Sundays don't make for productive Mondays.

We had a packed day yesterday. We left the house for church around 8:45 am and did not arrive back at home until almost 9:00 pm. We have been playing catch-up all day. I had to get up and finish lesson plans early this morning and the house isn't in its usual "ready-for-the -week" order. I think we'll get through all our work but with no time to relax. We have Bible Study tonight at 6:55.

We were at the Keller fountain yesterday afternoon to listen to Todd's cousin's group "Third Angle" play while a dance troupe performed in the fountain. It was our first taste of modern music and dance. It didn't go over well with the family. No modern music lovers here, nor modern dance fans. Some good has resulted though: the boys, who have been a little lukewarm to our classical music listening assignments, are a little more enthusiastic. And today, as we all sat in on a group violin lesson to see if the boys are interested in pursuing that instrument, Levi leaned over and asked "If I play the violin, I'll get to play classical music, right mom?" "Yes, Levi." ...and he thought that was a good thing.

Get them hooked on Yo Yo Ma, then get one of them to learn to play cello!!! It is such an amazing and versatile instrument--and so beautiful!
