The Choir Baby

Rebecca is referred to by most of our church as "the choir baby". She comes to choir practises with me, and she sits with us in the choir on Sundays. I have to say, she's probably the most popular member of the choir (lol). Anyway, I took my camera with me to choir practise last week, and got some pictures of her, and of the choir in general.

Hanging out with Mrs. Poynter

Again with Mrs. Poynter. This is how Rebecca has started to spend every practise.

Getting music and signing someone's birthday card.

Signing said birthday card some more. :)

See what I mean about her being the most popular member of the choir?? Seriously, it takes an additional 5-10 minutes for people to sit down for practise now, and we (Rebecca and I) leave nearly 1/2 an hour late every week!

These are Dave and Cecil... I'm pretty sure they even sit in these exact chairs pretty well every week.

Becky and Pete. Pete is DeAnna's fiance, and these two are often caught in this position, even in the middle of practises. ;)

DeAnna, the music/choir director for our church! She says her hair was a disaster on this particular evening, but I really don't think it looks that bad, hehe... :)

DeAnna with Rebecca

And, again. :)

The candy jar! I think it's DeAnna's method of bribing the kids choir to behave ;) , but I'm not really sure. There's almost always some sort of candy around on Wednesday evenings.

Speaking of choir, I get to sing a solo in one of the songs the choir is singing on March 22, and I think that's the day that DeAnna and I are supposed to be playing a duet as well. I've got to get that piece practised at some point! Oh, and then sometime after that I'm playing the music for one of the songs while the children's and adult's choirs sing. Lots happening in the music department, I guess!

And, that's all the choir pictures I have. The rest are from around the house.

We were given a bunch of clothes, and it happened that most of the newborn sized stuff actually fits Rebecca. I think she looks really cute in this outfit, but she'll probably have outgrown it in another couple of weeks. Of course, I keep saying that and after a couple of weeks she still fits things, so who knows!

I just thought this smile was adorable! We were chatting one morning, and she was just getting a kick out of SOMETHING! I have no clue what it was though! :)

And, though it is blury, this is a picture of Rebecca and me, taken by me. (that's why it's blurry) You should be very impressed that she is looking at the camera, considering there's no one behind it to attract attention. ;)

Anyway...

I did laundry yesterday and threw the detergent measuring cup thing into the machine because it was getting so caked in soap, and spent the next three hours trying to figure out where in the world it had gone, because when I pulled the laundry out, I didn't find it, I hung the laundry to dry, and still didn't find it. Finally, three hours later, I went outside, and found it on the lawn, in a location nowhere near where the line is. Don't ask me how it got there since there wasn't any wind really, but I'm glad it didn't break in the machine and disappear permanently!!

Today I am going to be trying to get more laundry done, as my laundering got stalled yesterday. Probably just Justin's and my stuff, and a load of diapers (which are currently running right now), as it is too windy today to hang little things out. I'm not even going to be hanging diapers outside, as I hung a cover and it tried to blow away on me!

Rebecca's sleeping habits seem to have changed again. I think I would prefer to go back to the "waking four to five times in the night" thing. She's apparently decided that it is time to get up at 4am. Not something I'm too thrilled by. She goes down, whether I want her to or not, by 8:00, whether she is nursing, being held, lying on the floor, whatever. She goes to sleep. She'll wake again between 11:30 and midnight, and then again at 1:30 or 2... and then she wakes up and is ready to go at 4am! And, this is regardless of how much time she slept through the day. She could take a three hour nap and do that, or take two ten minute "naps" and still do that. I'm going to go crazy, lol! Anyway, hopefully her little internal clock will tell her it is time to sleep from 4 until at least 6 sometime soon, as she was doing wonderfully, waking between 7 and 7:30 for the longest time.

And, with that, I must be off, because I need to get laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc done... I'm hoping that at least my kitchen, diningroom, and living room will look halfway decent by the end of tomorrow...
