I Have a New Nephew!

David Josiah was born May 25, weighing 8 lbs. 6 oz, 21 inches long. I have yet to see him (I’ve been looking after David’s older siblings), but hopefully I’ll be able to this afternoon! I hear he’s a cutie. Congratulations to my brother Brian, and his wife Tina, on their fourth child! I’ll post [...]

My Graduation

Yes, I made it! And I’m now a homeschool highschool graduate, diploma and all. Huzzah! We had a small ceremony with our local homeschool group last Friday, when I graduated with two other seniors. I was fun wearing the traditional cap and gown, but honestly I don’t know how in heaven’s name a mortarboard can [...]

Look What We Found!

A littler of kittens! There were five of them across the creek – no wonder we’ve been seeing the mommy cat a lot lately! We were able to catch these two cuties, and yes, we’re keeping them. They’ve adapted to being around people pretty well, especially for living in the wild for (I’m guessing) 5 [...]

At the “TEA Party”

As a band we were privileged once more to participate in our TEA (taxed enough already) party rally on the 15th, by providing live patriotic music. Over 400 people showed up! Walter also opened up the rally with prayer. God bless America! -Kasie

The Willi Learn to Shoot

I guess now we’re true Tennesseans.    So yeah, we’re true believers in the second amendment and the “right to bear arms”, but we also understand that with a firearm one has to be extremely careful, safe and responsible. For an introduction to guns, we took a course! A “hunter’s safety course” to be exact. [...]

It Came!

Yes, TheWilli ordered a new digital piano! Sticky keys are not fun to play on, and after getting our current instrument repaired every few months, we knew it was time. Yesterday we watched excitedly as the UPS truck drove up our driveway, carrying our treasure. “It’s HERE!!” Oh yeah! Unwrap that bad boy. Sweet! The [...]

Frozen!

Yeah, we’re currently without water over here! I think most everyone knows that the east coast in general has had a rather severe winter, TN included. But before, whenever we had a cold night we’d leave our water in the faucets and showers dripping so it wouldn’t freeze. Last night the temperatures dropped rapidly and [...]

Ballet Rehearsals!

~Walter, in one of his roles as a Hebrew man Show time for Exodus: The Story of Moses is this weekend! That means lots of rehearsals for us! Walter’s the only one dancing in the ballet, but Nate and I are in the backstage crew moving props, managing curtains and backdrops, and Angie is kept [...]

Life is Back to Normal…

…kinda. Although I’m beginning to believe that there’s no such thing as “normal” in our family, as you can see… Although the busyness of Beauty and the Beast is behind us, we still have a lot going on, and another drama to look forward to in a couple of months! Did anyone know that Walter [...]
