Some of my favorite memories of my family growing up were all of us gathered around the piano singing with my mom.<br /><br />It was hard getting my husband to sing 2 full hymns for FHE (opening and closing) but now we both love that part the best about FHE. <br /><br />I'm glad the handbook is online, I'm not a leader so I don't have a hard copy but I've been hearing good things. Thanks for sharing the link!Curlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176883112936068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-38673991598728924002010-12-13T12:53:22.430-07:002010-12-13T12:53:22.430-07:00I find my children humming, singing, or whistling ...I find my children humming, singing, or whistling hymns throughout the day as well. It always makes me smile and feel so blessed that they are thinking them in their head without me! LOL! <br /><br />I'll have to brush up on that section of the handbook. I've been studying it trying to make sure I understand it, but I think I've only focused on specific sections.Celeste B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07356778436738411892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-9030234480533984162010-12-13T12:10:54.030-07:002010-12-13T12:10:54.030-07:00Nice to 'hear' from you again.

I'm sorry you went through the mudbath and Mr. Patriot didn't win, but I admire you all for being willing to even throw your hat in the ring. It's wonderful to read how things are going in your little house and with the simplifying you have done. It always inspires me.

I've often though about you and wondered what you were up to (great things I was sure). You have inspired me to read Jane Eyre and it was great! Thanks for your note on my blog and although it's been in the -20's to -30's lately we've been blessed to stay warm! Sounds like you and your family have been up to some great things.

Sometimes I get so "crazy" from all the noise in my home already that I don't want to add more sounds, so I don't turn on the music. But when I do, they calm down and are quieter. In the midst of the chaos, I forget that.<br /><br />We, too, are working on learning more hymns and songs from the Children's Hymn book. It's been a lot of fun. And piano lessons are slowly coming along. I need to figure out how to teach myself now. I can't believe I'm so old and can't play the piano!!!crazy4boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11797982222542135378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-64458756955832681092010-12-10T23:06:55.567-07:002010-12-10T23:06:55.567-07:00It is so good to be back on your blog again and re...It is so good to be back on your blog again and read and learn from your experiences! I wish we were neighbors! I love hearing my 7 year-old boy sing the Primary Songs, the National Anthem, Feliz Navidad! I sing myself and I'm the choir director. Thanks for reminding me what the focus should be of teaching my children about music - to serve! I love it! Music is so powerful and is such a wonderful way to serve!Deanna Householderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06590281787678443743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-68182101738132783392010-12-10T22:26:05.504-07:002010-12-10T22:26:05.504-07:00Yay!

Already the older girls have had to fill in last minute to play for stake youth meetings, etc. I keep trying to tell the bishop (my husband) that the youth need to be called to play NOW for Sacrament Meeting while they are young and the congregation won't be as hard on them when they make mistakes. :D It's how I learned!Montserrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13056974831892116493noreply@blogger.com
