Update

Well, I haven't had too many chances lately to get on here and put up anything very interesting. I do have time now for a quick update, though.

Shannon was a real trooper at the wedding our family ensemble played at this evening. She had a fever and looked kind of flushed, but hung in there admirably. Way to go, Shannon! We're so proud of you! She's still in the middle of the whole flu experience, though, poor girl.

Dad is doing much better, but is still a little weak and worn out from being sick for a good five days.

Leslie is slowly but surely on the mend, but still has a fever and is kind of "out of it."

Austin is almost recovered, but could still be considered to be sick (if that's ambiguous enough for you).

I'm still flu-less! ... amazingly enough. Mom and Katelyn Grace are still out at Grandma and Pop's, escaping the plague.

Our heartfelt thanks to those of you who made us meals and helped out in other ways! The Lord has blessed us with wonderful friends!

This next week is looking very busy. On Wednesday, we're playing for a home tour downtown. On Saturday, we're playing for another wedding. Next Sunday is the real big day, though. We're getting a professional recording done to submit to the Arts Commission and also as a sample CD for potential wedding people. Our old recording is long out of date. So this next week we'll be putting in some intense practicing time - hopefully two 1-1/2 hour sessions each day.

Now, if only Shannon will get better quickly!

The next week, we're looking forward to a much-anticipated family vacation. Now won't that be nice?
