Things are slowly starting up around here. Some of our activities are up and running, and others will be soon.

We have music lessons on Monday afternoon. These have been going on all summer, so that's not a change.

Normally, on Tuesdays, I have Bible study, but we're not meeting this week, so we have an extra morning at home.

Wednesday my middle son has rehearsal for a worship celebration at our church. He's on the youth liturgical dance team. Normally, he'd be at youth group, but he has to skip it this week for practice since it's a dress rehearsal.

And, on Thursday, my middle son has barbershop practice. He joined a local barbershop organization over the summer, which he really seems to enjoy.

That's the extent of our extra-curricular activities this week. Next week, a few other activities begin, like gym class and co-op.
