September Adventures

Teaching seminary is a blast! It is a little bit difficult to prepare a lesson each day, but the kids are the best. One day, while studying the book of 1st Nephi a few of the kids put their interpretation on the board as we read chapter 8. One of the girls, Veronica had a very creative interpretation and I wanted to post it on the blog. I learn more about the students each day and I quickly found out she loves to draw.
I (Jen) performed last night and will perform again tonight with the ASU Choir and the Phoenix Symphony. We are performing a piece by John Adams in honor of the people that died on September 11th. It has been a very long week with multiple practices, but a really unique and awesome experience. Here are pictures of the choir and our view of Symphony Hall.
Abby doesn't really hold still, so I haven't made any efforts to paint her toe nails. The other day she kept looking at my toes, so I grabbed her and tried to paint her toe nails really quickly! It certainly isn't a masterpiece, but a fun start!
We've also enjoyed some fabulous BYU football games the last 2 Saturdays! The BYU vs. Oklahoma game was truly amazing and we had friends over that were standing up and screaming multiples times last week! Abby would just stare at us and then start to smile and clap! Here is a picture of us today (I realize the hair is a bit much for a football game--it's for the concert tonight!). Our friends, Jeremy, Roshelle and Kylee joined us today for the game. Kylee was singing the BYU fight song when I took the picture!
