We celebrated Halloween this year by going Leah’s house to celebrate one of her friend’s birthdays before greeting kids with our Yip-Yip Martians costume. They were so much fun and a hit with everyone we shared them with.
For a degree in art education and a Christian community, Violet’s search for schools reached beyond Oregon’s borders. We spent two consecutive weekends visiting our neighboring states and got a glimpse of where Violet could be spending four years soon.
When we looked at our finances for travel, the current prices of hotel stays were high enough that we could get a quality tent and use it for camping.
So that’s what we did. We purchased the Wirecutter tent recommendation for car camping and picked the Oregon Dunes to explore. Jenni had fond memories of running down the dunes in her childhood and wanted to share the scenery with me.
Two big weeks in a row.
First, Bruce was baptized. Now, Violet shared about how God inspired her art to be His witness at her school.
He is good and works in mighty ways. I’m looking forward to what He has prepared for the school year ahead.
Bruce took a big step toward his faith journey today by publicly declaring his commitment to Jesus. He was surrounded by friends and family as well as joined in the tank with his sister Violet.
I can’t wait to see how God will use his faith to move mountains.
Lovegood continued with new programming showcasing their first premiere mainstage. How this allowed for wider reach of performers to participate. I was happy to see some returning talent to blend into the community.
The Secret Garden Musical was a much more somber and slow story, but I’ve found the music to offer variety to Lovegood’s traditional upbeat and comedy. I appreciate expanding my repertoire of plays to different genres.
I’m so happy for my cousin Eileen who married her best friend last weekend. Their wedding was wonderfully personalized with video game nods in the processional music, gifts, and table names.
We’re coming up to three years at Lovegood and we’ve been privileged to see student performers grow with each performance. For Matilda, several lead roles were Jenni’s “show kids” and we loved their chance to showcase their skills and growth.
