Alaska According to Marie

I will be flying to Kodiak in a couple weeks with my dad and brothers and sister Calli. They invited us down to sing for a conference they are having. They had asked for some pictures of our group so mom took some pictures of us to send down. I thought I would put a few of them here on the blog today.

We have fun playing together. I've been known to put some cotton balls in my ear when Kris is especially energetic on his drum set. I sometimes think he tries to make a goal of it. "How long will it take me to get her to put something in her ears today?" He has used Psalm 150 as reason for his ... gusto:

Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.

How can I argue with that?
