A love of Music!

When Chip and I were ready to start having a family, I ordered children who would love music. I thank God every day for filling that order very well!!!

Taylor and Aubrey each had a fantastic year in junior high. Aubrey was in choir and played first chair violin in the orchestra! She really loved it. It was the toughest decision she has had to make so far, but she decided to follow in her sister's footsteps by continuing with just choir next year. Having only two electives is SO difficult - she decided to get a year of language out of the way so she can have more options in high school.

Taylor had an excellent year in the Improv choir. She has a beautiful soprano voice and reads music fantastically! She has definitely passed me up and I enjoy learning from her now!

Aubrey got a "superior" rating with her performance at the solo festival! She "rocks" (as you can see here, as I tried getting a "nice" picture of her and ended up with ths one.)

Taylor got the solo at her Spring concert and even got over having to be this close to a boy! Whew.. that was a HUGE deal, ya know!


Hannah is planning on joining the 5th grade choir next year too! And Jackson spends his free time plunking out "taps" and the theme to "Pearl Harbor" on the piano..(all on his own!)
.
What an amazing, wonderful blessing.. to have music in our home every day!

Even if it is Jackson cracking on the high notes in the shower....

Is it too late to put in an order of my own? You have great kids - and music is just the tip of the iceberg.

Beck just said, "Mom, what was that sound coming from the computer?"

I want more videos of the girls' talents too!

Hmmmm . . . what a coincidence that their mother loves music so much too . . .

OMG!!! Can't stop laughing at the shower seen. Jack is so cute, and I am so happy to hear about the girls and their talents. So glad to hear and see that everybody is doing well. Take care Trace.

Couldn't be more pleased myself and am so glad that they got your order straight! Only wish we could be there to witness and hear some of it in person.
