We’re the Pirates! I’m number 5. Our first game is Saturday.

Tee-Ball!

Today we went to Tee-Ball practice, but nobody else came; so we dug in the dirt and ran around.

Ramsay is doing some notable things as he turns three:

Sneaking books into bed with him during quiet time and night time.

Tearing up (his favorite!) books (alas). Which results in the removal of books from the bedroom, making previous cute habit moot.

Counting. To 120, correctly, unprompted and unassisted.

And 2 days ago, while riding in the car, Ramsay counted backwards by himself from 10. Repeatedly. Not sure this is a good sign….

A few words he recognizes (no need to sound out): no, box, Ramsay, cat, moon, dog.

Other things: Still LOVES trains. Thoroughly enjoying Tinkertoys (and so badly wants to master the little legos).

Favorite foods: cookies, pizza, M&Ms, chocolate (not any other color!) ice cream, strawberries, raspberries, cheese, bread, crackers. I guess he is  a toddler.

Cutest word: putawaying.

Music from the Service

Sam Hagan, who has been a friend of the family for years, was the soloist at the Memorial Service for Dad. I could listen to him sing for days on end. He sang two pieces, the 23rd Psalm


and Going Home

I’ve had this tune and chord progression bouncing around for years – at least 15, by my count. Gathered with a group of friends last spring in the north Georgia mountains, I strummed the chords for a while. This is what emerged.

Now: I’ve recently gotten a copy of Mac’s Garageband software. It’s addictive. So this is my amateur attempt at arrangement. Enjoy!
