Come...

Come thou fount of every blessing

Tune my heart to sing thy grace;

 Streams of mercy never ceasing,

Call for songs of loudest praise, 

 Teach me some melodious sonnet

sung by flaming tongues above; 

Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it

Mount of thy Redeeming love.

Words from hymn Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Sing me a song

During our recent visit to see Zach, he was recording a song for a class project. One of his friends had to do a project for an audiotech class and they recorded Z.  Shek and Karl got to see him in action, and Karl was even  in the background talk/singing vocals? Me and the girls stayed at the hotel. Recording studios are probably not the best place for a 3 year old...

 pretty neat equipment...so I am told...looks pretty high tech to me...

Shek snapped the photos...there are more of the whole gang but Z took those on his phone, and I can't find them anywhere to post them...

"I just wanna see his face."

Parent weekend was this weekend at Zach's college. SO we left Friday with the intent on coming back yesterday, but we decided to stretch out the visit and stayed until Sunday. While there I snapped lots of photos. The campus is just full of persons, places and things begging to be photographed.

 I loved this photo of the bell tower.  It's beautiful in daytime, but I loved how it looked at night. I took it on our way to the School of Music Concert. In fact I took it with my real camera and with my iphone, I had to instagram it too ya know...

For the Parent/Family weekend, the School of Music had a special concert and each of the ensembles were featured. Lots of talented people were singing that night. Here's a  photo of the POPS ensemble that Zach is in.

A photo of all my children....Jolie has been missing Zach and she has been saying, "I just wanna see Zach's face!" 

More Nashvegas photos tomorrow....

Konos Kids Field Trip

At Shek's Homeschool Konos Group, they have been studying about frontiersmen, such as Daniel Boone and Lewis and Clark. One of the parents of a classmate is a taxidermist, and invited the class out to learn more about the art of preserving animal hides.

Here are some of the class checking out some of the many trophies displayed in the office.

 Shek did a report on a bobcat just last week, so I snapped a photo of this one.

Awesome black bear, I don't want to run into one that's live.

 Smarter than the average bear.

 The kids were pretty fascinated with the  LION.

 Shek and his friends take a closer look

 WOW

 Here's a photo of the teacher snapping photos.

 Shek takes a photo of the teacher with the fox hide around her neck.

 The taxidermist explains the process in preserving hides and mounting the animals.

 Here's a group photo of those from the two classes that were able to come to the field trip.

It's ok, he doesn't bite!
