Weekend of Singing

This weekend I headed down to Conroe to visit Jackie & Jonathan.

Jackie had a Chorale concert on Saturday night at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX.

Friday night she had "dress" rehearsal..but didn't have to "dress" for it???

So Jonathan and I visited most of the evening on Friday before Jackie got home.

Saturday morning, I did some sewing repairs to Jackie's choir dress.

We enjoyed some chicken tortilla soup made by Jackie.

The rest of the afternoon was spent with doing some medical insurance organization.

We were off to Huntsville around 5:45pm and the concert started at 7:30pm.

Jackie had a solo during one of the hymns "This is My Father's World".

It was beautiful...She was beautiful.

I was one proud mama!

Below is the flyer for the concert that I received from her professor, Mr Franklin.

The below photo is from Facebook of the choir performing on Sunday night
at Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church in Houston.  Do you see Jackie?

After the concert we stopped by Denny's for a late dinner.

That place was popping for 10pm on a Saturday night!!!

Sunday morning, I attended the church where Jackie is the choir director and Jonathan is in the choir.

This was a great Sunday to visit as Jonathan had a solo during the Choir Anthem "The Gift of Love"

So not only did I get to hear Jackie sing....but also got to hear Jonathan sing.

You all might not know this but Jonathan is a great singer.

He was a little nervous, but he had the added pressure of performing in front of his mother-in-law.

Who wouldn't be nervous?

I think there might be some duets in their future !!!

After church, I started the drive home...got home around 3pm...unpacked a few things and then drove over to the Elliott's for dinner (and some Andrew play time).  We had a great time on a walk around the apartment complex and he encountered a couple of dauschaunds and one of them licked his nose. He quickly said "No! No! PooPoo (aka puppy)"  He kept retelling it over and over at the dinner table. He's so cute!

So all in all it was a great weekend...it always goes by too fast.  I look forward to my next "Family Fun" weekend!  Hope you all spent the weekend doing something you love instead of something you have to do!  I did!
