Read MoreBrrr…I’m freezing! I love the fall weather much better than the heat, though. I’m heading to Tullahoma tomorrow. Lo and behold–Siegel Freshmen will be there, too. Maybe I’ll see someone I know when I go out to eat with my mom, brother, and his family. It’s a small world! Chip came home by 8:30 this […]
Read MoreSo, I have updated the band web page this morning with what? The Trumpet Weekend Photo Show, of course! There is other info to put on, too, but I really like to get section news on there. Lots of parents and extended family would never see what their kids are doing if it didn’t get […]

Emily, Andrew, Jacque, Boog, Beth, Scott, Julie Grace, Ben, Jacob, Chip, Chelsey, Daniel, Lauren, Erin, and, of course, my sweet Annie! Then…the big surprise was that Emily Mitchell was home […]
Read MoreToday was the Variety Show at Siegel High School. Great job to Kate and Ali–Youth Group was well-represented! I’ll have to get the still clips off of my camcorder so I can show off how great you two looked! Speaking of Youth Group, Emily Mitchell might be coming to Starbucks with us on Sunday at […]
Read MoreA couple of pictures that I needed to include, which I forgot in the grouping. Samantha and Jenna would be so sad! The Variety Show at the High School is Thursday night. The cost is $6.00, and I do hope many of the parents will try to go. I’m going to videotape it, so […]
Read MoreHooray for my friend Emily Lupoli, who now has no braces on her teeth!! Have I mentioned lately how proud I am of the kids in the band? They are the most incredible people, young or old. Actually, I feel the same way about my youth group. I am amazed at the depth in these […]
