Just the ladies

My SIL asked if I was interested in going to the (rescheduled) Lauren Daigle concert with my girls and a friend of hers. I added my friend, MS, to our group and we made it an outing for the 6 of us. It was so much fun to hear live music. Lauren definitely loves to entertain and her voice is amazing in person.

Chicken Wing Beat

The Shecklets have been repeatedly playing song this on the Echo Dot and I can’t get it out of my head.

Shecklet #1 is 12!

Twelve years ago this kid made me a mom. I can’t believe how fast time has gone. Tonight we celebrated by going to his spring orchestra concert and then having donuts (his choice) for dessert. I am so proud of the young man he is becoming. He is kind, respectful, inquisitive, creative, and always has a hug for his mama ❤

Music and Art – Shecklet #2

It was Shecklet #2’s night to shine.  We wandered through the art show and found the two pieces he created.  I know I’ve said this before, but I love that my kids attend a school where the arts are an important piece of their education.  After the art show, we were entertained by the fourth graders’ singing and recorder playing.

Music and Art -Shecklet #3

It is concert and art show season at school. Tonight I as the first of three events we’ll have in the next month. This girl did a great job in art class as well as singing with her fellow 1st graders!

Date night

Nolan is a huge music lover (all kinds.)  He can often be found changing stations or CDs and dancing or singing along to what is playing.  I’m hoping to have him start piano lessons in the next year or so.  Anyway, I digress…  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.  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.  I loved spending the evening with my big-little guy.  I’m pretty sure he enjoyed the one-on-one time, too.

Brotherly love

I love it when the boys play together nicely.  Here’s a glimpse of them sharing the piano bench.  They’re practicing a duet 🙂
