wrapping up April>

Lots has been going on, so let me see if I can catch everything up to speed (or a lot of it)
in this blog post....
starting with:
Lakeview Church

 
Jordan and I have been leading worship together for over 7 years. I say
leading worship 'together', but really it's all Jordan. I just
ride in the car with him to and from-make sure his guitar gets unpacked,
copies of the songs are made, and he has plenty of coffee and water
at his fingertips=) hehe. I guess I'm more like the 'roadie', but I still
like to say that we do it 'together' b/c we do do it technically
together=) I hope that made sense! Wow, what a ramble..
Anyway, the last Sunday in May was our last time to lead worship in
Sunday morning service. We have SO enjoyed our time and been blessed by 
the people at Lakeviw Community Church-who have been much more than a 
community to us, they have been more like a great big family! We 
met so many great godly people there, we will miss them very much!!
these are just some shots taken from our last Sunday there...


They have a quilter's group of ladies at this church, and let me just say-these ladies GOT SKILLS!
They are amazing at quilts and FAST! =)
They always make one when someone has a baby...and I always have coveted them. 
haha-I know-terrible, but I admit it! I am so nostalgic, I just love that
kind of stuff, and I love quilts, so it was a double whammy!
Anyway, they were SO very sweet and they made us a 'going away quilt'!
It is BEAUTIFUL!!! And it will look great in our Galveston home-
a great way to remember them.


Oh, Im making a face at Jordan b/c he felt like the quilt was really
a gift for 'me'=) lol. He was just joking though-he really does like it 
and will equally cherish it.




So the next Sunday was Easter-and for the first time in I can't even remember
we got to go to church with MY parents! It was really a blessing to get to 
go and worship with them. My brother Josh and Jennifer-also go to this church
so we got to spend it with them as well.


=)


Josh and Jennifer after church


then we went over tot he Carls for lunch and we got to Skype with
the Landers ! (I guess that's what we'll be doing next year =(


haha-looks like Jayce and Grace are doing well!!! =)

 
Apparently I really like taking single shots of Jordan with Gabe and Emma
maybe I should start just having them take it with both of them in the picture..


then I had my April PTA program at school-it was called BUGZ!
and the kiddos were super cute! I loved their costumes, they turned out well!!


This song is 'Firefly' notice the lighting effect=) They were awesome!
2nd grade by the way...


Then I had my last concert for the choir that I was in: 
Arlington Master Chorale 
that same week! We did the Mozart Requiem-it was very powerful, 
and a great experience. I really enjoyed singing with this choir this year.
I hope to find one in Galveston !!!

  



And then the last saturday in April (I guess to round out the incredibly music-filled
month!) Jordan had the opportunity to play at his cousin Ben's church
Lakeridge for their Saturday night service!
He played the electric which was a nice relaxing change for him=)




they played really well. I enjoyed getting to listen and sing along.
I am currently working on making a DVD of Jordan and all 
the music stuff he's done, but I am just scrambling around for time....=) 
I will get it done this summer though-that is my goal!
