New Camera!
I was able to get a new camera recently, and it has been wonderful! The colors are much more true to life, and it has many different settings, of which I have figured out two. It isn't so difficult as the manual makes it seem, and Jordan has been trying out the more specialized settings. These are my favorite art shots that I have taken so far.

End of the year Choir
As this school year has come to a close there have been several performances following one right after the other in quick succession. Since five of us are now in the PSCA homeschool choir that is what has mostly filled our time over the last two weeks.
These pictures are a little backwards but this is at the policeman's memorial on Tuesday. It was sobering to hear the names of so many officers that were killed in action and gave me a real appreciation of what they do for us everyday.
Since Jordan and I are the tallest boy and girl in choir Mrs. Clark (our director) let us stand by one another for the memorial.
This picture is of Nicole in the community choir. They sang It Is Well but unfortunately since our choir was next, Jordan and I could not hear it because we were standing in the hallway waiting to get on stage:(
This was the debut of the guy's ensemble and they certainly made the most of it. They were the best performance of the whole night, and got the audience on their feet!
This is a picture of their choreography. It really added a lot to the singing and made it incredibly masculine.
Being in girls ensemble has been such a blessing! All of the girls are so sweet and it has helped me with my voice very much. This was a sad performance though because 10 of the 17 girls are graduating this year, so this was our last chance to sing together:(
Shauna and Kendra have really enjoyed being in children's choir this semester, And Kendra got to sing a high note only a few of them could hit:)
Shauna got to know the girls around her and is glad one of them is going to youth choir with her next year.
There they are. The entire senior class! They sang Hear My Prayer for us on the last day and did a beautiful job.
The girls ensemble practices in the copy room at the church and have many fun and girly conversations before we actually practice:)
Every Tuesday these girls and I eat lunch together out in the shade at People's Church and I think that is the thing I am going to miss the most. Whether the conversation was serious or not you could tell all these girls love the Lord.

Kendra Pictures 2009
Kendra has grown up so much in the past year. I love the way photography has given me a way to spend one-on-one time with my siblings and document their growth and maturity. This time Kendra has no bangs, and earrings. She is definitely moving up to the big girls.

Happy 6th Birthday, Sarah!
May the Lord bless you with a hunger and thirst for Him that cannot be quenched by anything else. Have a wonderful sixth year!
Family Pictures 2009
Once again, we have the Callis family to thank for these beautiful pictures. We are so blessed to have such talented and gracious friends. Eden and Philip did a wonderful job posing us and getting almost everyone to smile at the same time. Now we just need to write a letter to send out with the pictures:).
