LIFE



As i write the wind outside is shrieking around the house and twirling snow so thickly through the air that it is hard to see down the road..... wooooow here comes snow storm number 65 of winter 08-09... wow. HERE ARE some super cute Mercy photos to warm you on just such an evening as THIS!! :) Always smiling and blowing bubbles through her sweet little lips.... heeehee... man she is adorable.


We have rented a cello, and i am taking lessons for a little while. (as the budget allows.. you know how it is. :) haha) Dave is a natural at it!! I love the sound, so rich and glorious. We have had a lot of fun playing together. Dave on cello, su piano, sam ukeleli, Julia tamborine, and mercy as the audience!! then you get sam singing ("Bingle Da!! Bingle Da!!" - all he sings... it is his version of "Jingle bells") and Julia dancing and singing (usually some praise song to Jesus that she makes up as she goes, it is beautiful!!)

All that to say.... our home is filled with music these days and I ABSOLUTELY love it!! :)

Praise God for beautiful music that we can make and hear and praise Him with.

Little Mercy is beautiful! I love her fair skin and dark, dark hair. Where does the dark hair come from? I love seeing lots of children all from the same family because I love the uniqueness they all come with, yet the similarities they share. Oh, I could write about genetics for hours... well, maybe 5 minutes until I ran out of technical phrases to use. Anyway... what a beauty! It looks like she is thriving in your musical home.

Enjoy your cello lessons and learning. I expect a concert next time we are around the area (which means you have a good long time to practice!)

Hugs from our home to yours

Yay for the cello lessons - that's definitely something I want to do at some point! And Mercy is so so cute - what a sweet girl. Those cheeks look like they are meant to be kissed!! She looks like she's grown so much - how big is she now?

You certainly have another cutie there - cutie #3. Each is unique and special in their own way.

And, what a great list of practical ideas for the serious Christian you came up with in your last blog.

Can't wait to hear some of your mellow cello someday!
