Hey Moose Head!

Concert this Friday!

Please join us at a special Thanksgiving Collaboration Concert and Food Drive hosted by the Minnesota Mormon Chorale:

"Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing"

Friday, November 12th at 7:30 PM

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

(100 Silver Lake Rd, New Brighton - Corner of 694 and Cty. Rd. E)

The concert features over 100 talented musicians from four different choirs:

Caritas Vocal Ensemble, Global Harmony Community Chorus, Minnesota Mormon Chorale, South Metro Chorale Vagabonds, and it includes a performance by Minnesota Blue, a local bluegrass group. The concert will also feature a stunning combined choir performance of the beautiful hymn, "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" arr. by Mack Wilberg.

These talented musicians are coming together as volunteers at this event to benefit Second Harvest by asking attendees to donate non-perishable food items for concert admission. We believe this will be a powerful and uplifting musical experience for the community and something that will make a real difference to those in need. I hope that you will come and be part of it. Feel free to bring your family and friends and let us all express our gratitude for our "Fount of many blessings".

Warmest regards, Erin

Ellie's First Day of School

Ok, so I'm really behind in posting...sorry about that. Ellie and I go to an ECFE class every week (since beg. of September) and she's having lots of fun. We play, do art, sing songs, dance, etc. It has been really good for us to get more involved with the school system.

Ellie's Travels

We went to the Children's Museum with Niki and cousins and had a blast! Ellie "visited" Japan but her favorite experience of the day was playing IN the water exhibits (yes, I say IN the water because she doesn't know how to be around water without getting completely soaked...hehe...next time, I'm bringing extra clothes!). Her second favorite part was eating popcorn with her cousins. I couldn't believe she ate it since I had let her taste it before and she spit it out....she's definitely getting better with different food textures and it's so exciting!
