Sunday, November 12

It is wonderful to see Hannah singing in the FUMC choir.  :)  We always enjoy hearing the choir, but now it is even more special.

After church we had lunch together at Mama and Daddy's house.  We had carry out chinese so no one had to cook.  :)

Here is a video of the choir from that morning.  Beautiful!

Brianna's Senior Clarinet Recital

What a big day this was!  It is so hard to believe that Brianna is a Senior at Truman.  How can that be?  She still has her Masters year next year so isn't quite through... but she will graduate with her Bachelors degree this May.  Her Senior Clarinet Recital was held on Thursday, November 9 and we were all so excited!  Family got together to have dinner before the recital (poor Brianna was at Truman preparing for the recital).  We enjoyed the back room at Maxwells - it was perfect for our group and allowed us to have good fellowship time.

Mary Immaculate Fall Festival

Brianna has so enjoyed teaching Music class at Mary Immaculate School this year.  She and Leah co-teach all the grades from pre-school through 8th grade and are loving every minute of it.  The school hosts a fundraiser each fall and this year the students performed a few musical numbers.  I found myself on the front row with all the other 'Moms' pointing my camera at 'my girl'.  :)  So very proud of Brianna.  Everyone did a fantastic job!

Great to see Jerry, Alicia, and Kate at the fundraiser
