Music Classes, anyone?

I really will update this blog again...someday. I have so many pictures of Tessa getting into Trouble. It's just a little overwhelming to get to them all. And I used to be so good at staying on top of it...*sigh*

But the purpose of this post (if you haven't deleted me from your Google Reader, yet) is to let you know that I am offering "Let's Play Music" classes out of my home starting in September. I'm really excited for my own kids to get to participate in this program, which is the main reason I am doing it.

I've started a new blog (I think I have 11 or something, of them now), to answer some of your questions about the program. There is a form there you can fill out for more info, or just email or call me! I highly recommend clicking through to the main "Let's Play Music" site, and watching their video, to get a good feel for what this program is all about.

Until I blog again...

Meet the Haltermans

2011 finds us as a family of six and as busy and crazy as ever. Barry continues working at Clear Creek Associates, which we consider to be a tremendous blessing, given the current state of the economy. Barry is serving in the Stake Young Men's Presidency, and I am in the ward Primary Presidency at church. Besides being busy with a new baby and his brother and sisters, I am teaching Let's Play Music Classes, and blogging about my creative endeavors at meandmyinsanity.blogspot.com. Kira (9) is enjoying drama club this year. She has read more books thank I probably have in my life. She's learning the keyboard quickly in music class. She was asked to give a speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building at her school. Trenton (6) is adjusting to 1st grade and homework. He has suddenly become an excellent reader. He has a gift for music, but not a gift for following directions. *sigh* He still plans on being a scientist and is full of all the imagination and energy that a 6 year old can have. Tessa (3) has recently taken up hairstyling. She is responsible for the short hair do she is sporting now. She loves preschool, dance class, and attending music class (even though she isn't old enough). She's a little computer addict and will play Dora all day, if we let her. She's quite the artist on paper and on walls. She likes to write "T's" for Tessa on everything. She is a sweet big sister to Alec. Alec (8 mos.) is a mover and a shaker! He is exhibiting the same determination as his siblings in learning to get around. He is really a delightful baby! My only complaint is that sleeping is at the bottom of his priority list. He loves people and makes friends wherever we go.
