P365 March 29-April 4

Sarah took the picture for March 29. I guess this is a better way of playing games on the TV. :-)

March 30 was Solo/Ensemble. Both Alisha and Emily participated (but only Alisha let me watch her). Emily played a clarinet solo, and was in a clarinet choir and a vocal trio. Alisha was in a woodwind choir (that gets to go to State!!) and did a flute solo, and 2 vocal solos. She participated in the Musical Theatre division, and you have to do a traditional number as well as the theatre piece.

Tuesday and Wednesday I put together a rather emotional quilt. Emma is a friend of my 4 yr old niece Ruby. Emma has had cancer since she was 2 yrs old, and doesn't look like it will be much longer for her here on earth, so Ruby's mom gathered these quilt squares from her preschool class and had me put them together.

Another sign of spring: The Red wing Blackbirds have appeared in the cattails accross the road from our house. If you have never heard a redwing blackbird's call, it is very unique with trills and chirps. I can't come close to imitating it.

The kids had Easter Break starting on Thursday. On Friday, Sarah had a friend over and they all colored eggs. They go back on Tuesday.

Saturday the Easter Bunny hid eggs all over the yard. Usually, I am hoping for crocuses in time for Easter, but this year was so warm and early, that LOOK! I have a few daffodils too!! I am loving this spring! We had absolutely NO snow during the month of March.

"Come, Listen to a Prophet's voice." We believe that the leader of our church is a Prophet of God who speaks for God in these Latter Days. Saturday and Sunday (and the first weekends every April and October) we have our Church's General Conference where we get to hear the words of Living Prophets and Apostles-other special witnesses of Jesus Christ. We spent Saturday and Easter Sunday listening to our leaders declare the divinity of Christ and give us other council for our times.

Have a great week!
