I love pictures of the moon.  The way the clouds can cover and give such beauty.  Isn’t it just incredibly artful?      Another movie night!  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 […]

Today 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 […]

  A 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 […]

Hooray 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 […]

Birmingham was oh so much fun.  Of course, it’s always more fun to win, isn’t it?  Not necessarily.  There is such thing as a hollow victory, I believe.  If we had competed against five bands that were altogether worse than we were, it wouldn’t have been much of a win, would it?  No, our score […]

So, Bunko was tonight.  Only seven of us were here, so we decided to just draw names for prizes and not even play.  I had good food and drink, though, and the company was nice, so the night wasn’t a total loss. Today was Homecoming for the Middle School.  Laura, Laurie, Kim, and Margaret helped […]

Obviously, my week has been busy.  That’s why I haven’t updated.  I’ve been working on the band web page, too.  You can check that out if you want… www.siegelband.org  I’ve been working with flash, and that’s been fun and tedious.  Monday was a fun day and night.  The day was full of friends of Chip’s […]

Dear Lord, it is by faith that I walk.  I do so pray that the steps I have been taking this week, and maybe more importantly those I’ve chosen not to take, are pleasing to you.  It’s not been nearly as difficult as thought it might be.  Thank you for the strength that comes from […]
