~Spring Recital~

A few weeks ago, our church held the annual Spring Recital. We also had a Faith Dish Dinner and Communion Service that afternoon. This recital was different from the past, as my siblings and I did not perform . We enjoyed sitting and listening, (especially myself:) for a change. Faith Dish Dinner

Sunday's are always spent all day at church. The kids wanted to use my camera to take some pictures. Isaiah and Katie with Michelle and Daniel atop our van.

Nathanel's birthday was last month, but, Grammie and Grandpa wanted to celebrate with us so Grammie made a super cute little cake and brought it to church where we all enjoyed it together. The cake was really good and we really appreciated all the time and hard work she took to make it!(Thanks, Grammie!)
Natey and his "car" cake:)

Thanking Grammie:)

Recently, Mama gave Grammie a blouse to match with us girls. Sunday, we all brought them and took a picture together. Grammie isn't looking at our camera, as both Grandpa and Sarah were trying to take the same picture with separate cameras but, this was the best shot we got.
A time consuming and very fun game, often played at church these days is: Round Robin.
While we young people were enjoying the game, Mrs. McIntire and Mrs. Iorga faithfully worked in the kitchen preparing and decorating for the recital, that evening.

Before we knew it, the time had arrived and family and friends sat down to hear a very special recital.


Here Michelle starts the evening off with a piano solo.
Johnny follows with another.


Jacob's violin solo. He did a great job!
I always look forward to Stephanie's harp solos! They get better every time!

The string quartet
they sounded very good

Three cheers for Amy!! This was one hard classical piece and all from memory too!

Sarah, played a delightful piece!
Stephanie's piano solo

Janice, playing away......check out her music!

The evening started with and ended with McInitre Musicians!:) Jonanthan, Cristin, Sarah and Amy end the evening with some good old bluegrass music, definitely the highlight of the evening!:)



"Praise the Lord with the harp; make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings."

Ashley, it was good to catch up on your life recently.
Natey's car cake reminded me of the cake that we make my brother every year. It is a choo-choo train, and it's been a tradition since he was about five or so... Fun memories. =)
The recital looked relaxing. I dropped piano lessons, but I'm still playing on my own quite a bit. I miss the free concerts at school. =)
I'll be around. =)
