Trying ...

For some reason the last couple of posts I've tried to post haven't worked out properly. Like that video of my nephew O getting his first sweet potatoes...or the one about my amazing daughter's first "real" smile...or...well, any of them. I can't seem to tie myself to the computer long enough to dash off even a short entry.

Today we participated in the dedication service for our new sanctuary at church (Hubband directed the Sanctuary choir and sang with Men's Chorus) and I was finally able to connect with a new friend who I'd not seen since my baby shower. Sadly, between that time and now she and her husband lost their twins to miscarriage at nearly 12 weeks gestation. It was hard to think about, with my own new daughter in my arms, and I'm sure it was hard for her to see us with Ella. I hope she knows that our hearts and prayers are with them.

Tonight, Hubband's school choir performed with the Memphis Symphony down at the Cannon Center, doing Berliose's Requiem. Ella is a bit young for a babysitter yet, so I stayed here at home with her. First reports are that the concert was a great success. I'm hoping it is broadcast on tomorrow's symphony hour on our local public radio station.
