Birthdays

Had a fun time celebrating the birthdays in April...Jordyn and Grandpa!

Signing Time

The cast and crew from our favorite video series "Signing Time" was featured at a concert in Maple Grove!  It was great idea but the thrill didn't last long and Ty starting running the aisles after about 5-10 min.  Maybe in a few years he will be more interested in these activities?!

Pancake Breakfast

Stopped by the Eden Prairie Lions Club Pancake Breakfast to make some connections...as a national organization, they offer some scholarships and sponsor several initiatives around hearing loss.  It was a long shot to ask for money to help support Tyrin's education...perhaps someday.  This picture did make it to the EP Newspaper.  Our two minutes of fame for the year!  Lol.

How great thou art

I saw this video for the first time and was blow away by Carrie Underwood's performance of How Great Thou Art.  This song reminds me of my Grandma Holthe and her generation...often I heard this song played at funerals or very formal church services.  My thoughts on worship have evolved over the last decade.  It has become more clear to me that God shows up in a lot different places (when you least expect it too!) and the message of His love is shared in many musical and liturgical ways.  It showed up for me in this video today.

Grandparents Day

Sketch videos

Have you seen these?  For some reason, I'm fascinated by this style of video where an artist sketches a message and then audio records the main points.  Several years ago I was hooked on the Story of Stuff project...similar concept.  Take a look.  Hope you like.
