This year was a full year of firsts:

our first teenager,

our first sabbatical,

our first year as full time homeschoolers,

our first kids music project (SingKairos),

also mike’s first solo songs out in the world!

Many of these firsts have brought us great joy and angst (see first listed). With every endeavor, the lord has remained steadfast and faithful to us. We’re looking with hope to another year of singing truth, spending time with our kids, and faithfully writing songs to share light to the world!

Mike has taken up puzzling, Allie released a song for a friend called Sunflower, Jesse took up animation and the mandolin, Molly is playing penny whistle and writing a play, Ivy continues to sing her heart out, and our little Luna started kindergarten. It still blows us away that we have no more toddlers. Time is hurrying on.

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. ”

(Ephesians 5:15-16)
