The (last) Virginia Chronicles VIII

 Some final memories:

Ethan's 4th birthday! 
Notice his boots...he says they were from when he and his daddy were in the Marines.


 Another "fancy" tea party!



And a concert...we practiced these songs all week long!
Tiffany and Mackenzie on violins playing 
"Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus"



And then me on the piano, while the other girls sang 
"Compassion Hymn"


 As well as 2 other songs with 3 part harmony.

Singing got us through many dishes and chores throughout the week. And keeping little mouths busy singing seems to help keep little people from getting in trouble. :)


 AND, we used mirror crayons to print and illustrate the first verse of one of our songs on the girls' bathroom mirror as a surprise. 

His fingerprints in flakes of snow,
His breath upon this spinning globe.
He charts the eagle's flight;
Commands the newborn baby's cry.



 Sweet times and memories.

Phew! I made it!

It was really delightful to see and read all about your VA adventures. I can't wait to hear more about them over our own delicious tea and goodies. :)
