Singing in the Rain

It rained hardly at all during the summer and this week we have had rain for 4-5 days straight. One never does realize how much one loves the sun until you don't see it for awhile! But instead of wasting my time wishing it would stop raining and the sun would come out I am going to enjoy the beauty of water droplets rippling a puddle and the sound of them dropping on the roof over my bed. Come to think of it I am going to stop wishing I could get out of this valley in my life, this hard place, and (at least try to) enjoy the learning process. There is so much I can be enjoying in this time in my life and I won't let painful and hard "things" overshadow them. I will never have this exact time again and I don't want to waste it wishing I was out of it. I am going to learn to focus on the good in everything, not just in good things. Thank you Jesus!

Hello?

We are still here. Life is a little busy right now so we might not update as much as you or I would like to. Also, please pray for us as we are going through some hard times. We believe that all things will work together for the glory of God!

Mom's Overture by Anita Renfroe

And the crowd goes wild!

Here are some pictures of the Fiddler's Convention. The day was hot and we had some rain come and go. We tried to leave only to have david and jonathan cry that they wanted to play! So we had to stay... but it was worth it! When Tin-Tin started playing everybody cheered! After they finished playing and as we were walking back to our seats everybody we passed clapped and cheered.

If you can't read the newspaper clipping here is what it said "Although the group did not place in the bluegrass competition, the Lilleybillies, a local family group, was a crowd-pleaser on Saturday afternoon."

Summer also played solo. She did well but didn't place either. We are already working on songs for next year!
