Reflections: Music

 In the fall I was aware of the deadline for Reflections so I badgered the kids to enter something for those competitions.  B wrote a little piano piece.  We just found out that he won 2nd place (of 2 entries....) for music.  Knowing that it was a field with prohibitive entry for most children, I thought his odds were pretty good.  Yay B!  He did actually write a nice little piece with counter melody and typed it up on Finale.  Totally good work for his age and skill level.

Rainbow mtn. Treats

 

One of my goals for this year is to go have a treat at rainbow mountain 12 times.

Today we searched for ice and had chocolate covered strawberries.

Deacons

 B advanced to the Deacons Quorum this past month.  This ward has about 10 deacons!  They can't all serve the sacrament each week.  B got to serve the sacrament today.  So sweet.  After church the deacons swarmed into the primary room and stacked the chairs.  I'm so grateful for their good leaders teaching them stewardship, organization and leadership.  I'm so grateful that the kids get to be in a strong ward with such a high level of expectation for the youth.
