Here are more fun things we did in the month of October:
Oct. 26
I took Gabe to the Train swap meet for him to look around. He came home with a train and some train magazines, I think he mostly liked just looking around.

I was asked to fill in for the new primary pianist that didn't feel comfortable playing the entire program. Ian was also asked to play a few songs on the piano for the program. Good thing one of the songs he chose was choose the right, since I had to play organ that day too! We played the song together as a piano/organ duet for the closing song. The primary sang the first verse and the congregation joined in on the last two. Ian did a good job on his other songs. The biggest part of his performances was his organ playing--he played a few songs for the prelude and played for the opening hymn--I am a Child of God. He played perfect, foot pedals and all! Everyone was impressed I think, and I was proud of him!Oct. 25

I helped Elisa and Cosette with their Sunday lesson in church 2nd hour. We used a magnetic skeleton for part of the activity. Elisa did a good job on her lesson.

We used the same skeleton in Elisa's lesson for our Come Follow Me lesson later that same day, led by Elisa.

Elisa's (new) band teacher was smart enough to have the band concert in October and not December this year. I took a few videos of the band's performances. It was nice be able to finally see Elisa from where we were sitting! The videos were too long to upload on blogger, so I put links to YouTube were I posted them.

Oct. 28
Erik spent the evening at Camelback Bible Church recording "O Holy Night" with the Millennial Choir. They spent about 4 hours recording and rerecording until the director was satisfied that they had enough good takes to put together the song. The director even kept them 30 minutes longer to enjoy the acoustics of the choir singing their a capella song "O Magnum Mysterium."

Oct. 31
My dad was over visiting (my mom was going to come but Tom was sick in the hospital so she delayed her flight for a future date). I thought it would be fun to eat breakfast on the bridge before school with Ian. I made an invite to make it official and sent it to Ian's phone. In the morning, I made pancakes and breakfast burritos. We all walked over to the bridge (it is a half mile away) and ate the yummy food, and walked back.

Breakfast on the bridge!
Walking back. It is good for Ian to get some exercise in.

It's a great opportunity for Ian to play organ and piano at church. He plays very well! It's so good for the Young Women to teach the lessons! Elisa is great at that! She played well at her band concert, too! Ian gets up early, so it was a nice activity for him to walk in the morning. Breakfast was a good incentive for that!
