This weekend just flew by.
As most of you already know, we had our SuperBowl party here yesterday: We anticipated 18 adults and 24 kids. That’s a lot of people. Sadly one family came down with a nasty bug and had to stay home, so it brought our numbers down to 16 adults and 23 kids which was still A LOT of bodies in the house. The food stadium was a smashing success and I’ll write more about that later this week. So we spent most of Saturday and the early afternoon on Sunday getting the house cleaned and prepped for that…
Then on Saturday morning I attended the funeral of the Father of a family I teach. They have 3 kids (6th grade down to 3rd grade) and I have them all in lessons. I’ve had them for a number of years now–they are a simply delightful family. Their dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer a year ago and sadly lost his battle this past weekend. This family has a special place in my heart especially since they are heavily involved in music in Shakopee. He will be sorely missed. His obituary was a wonderful tribute to him–in case you are interested I’m putting the link below (just copy and paste into your browser).

I read about him after your comment on a Facebook post. They seem to be doing very well, which is a testimony to their great faith. I didn’t realize you gave them lessons.
