I love the way little children phrase things—absolutely adorable. The above was from four-year-old Jennifer (who thinks five minutes is way too many). We’ve got quite a handful of kids running around this place, totaling to nine ages twelve and under. Throw in Mother May I, a staircase, and few thousand dollars worth of stringed instruments, and we’re in for some excitement!

Tonight concludes our first day of camp, which was really only an introduction to what we’ll be doing for the next two weeks. I’m pretty excited, myself. The orchestra has around fifty members total, and a whopping twelve violas. Playing in a “viola section” is absolutely foreign to me; usually, I am the “viola section.”
At check-in, we ran into two familiar faces: Taylor and Hailey from HSB, along with several of their friends! It was fun having a real, live person to fit to the name—and it’s also nice knowing someone when the whole campus of David Lipscomb is filled with strangers. Taylor and Hailey, by the way, are super sweet. Y’all should go over and say hello.

And now, we’re back at home. I’m sitting in the rocker listening to the kids get ready for bed and contemplating how I’ll extricate myself from the maze of mattresses on the floor. Hm…
…this could be a problem.
