One of the activities Shecklet #3 has been able to participate in from home (and eventually in a socially-distanced environment) is a group at church called Handmaidens of the Lord. Each month they talk about a virtue, learn about a saint, have time for prayer, and work on a craft. This month’s craft was making a countdown to Christmas. She let me help decorate the individual cards – she loved working on it.
Nolan is a huge music lover (all kinds.) Â He can often be found changing stations or CDs and dancing or singing along to what is playing. Â I’m hoping to have him start piano lessons in the next year or so. Â Anyway, I digress… Â He is also often intrigued by the music that comes out of the organ at mass on Sundays.
The two of us had a mom-son date tonight. Â Our church hosted a professional organist who gave a concert on the 5-keyboard organ we have in our sanctuary. We had front row seats and were able to watch the organist’s fingers dance across the keys while his feet maneuvered the pedals with precision. Â I loved spending the evening with my big-little guy. Â I’m pretty sure he enjoyed the one-on-one time, too.
