Barnes and Noble

Last Sunday we played at Barnes and Noble for a Community Music School promotion.

Psalm 100:2

Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.

BJU Festival

Last week I went with a few people from our homeschool band/orchestra to a music competition in South Carolina. It was SO much fun! We left on Sunday morning, stayed in a hotel Sunday night, and got the Bob Jones University (where the competition was) Monday afternoon. We stayed there through Friday morning.

The drive was 14 hours.... but it was really pretty.

Pumpkin Carving

Here are some pics of us carving pumpkins a few days ago.

I will be at a music competition in South Carolina this week so have a great week everyone!

Apple Picking

We went apple picking last weekend and have been enjoying the amazing apples all week! Unfortunately they're just about gone now... :)

The boys found a bird's nest.

The season was almost over so we got to try the apples-- and we did!

Which one?

In the Leaves!

We raked a bunch of leaves and piled them on the trampoline.
