Celebrate: Fall, Music, Birthdays, & Boys!

Dear Friends!

Welcome to the September Newsletter. Fall is officially here, school is back in session and the album is 75% done! Yes!

LETS CELEBRATE!

There are so many things to celebrate this month! First and foremost, my family has just adopted two little boys from Nigeria. They arrived just 3 weeks ago and it has been the happiest, most welcomed change in our lives! Meet Samuel (L) and Emmanuel (R). I'm going to try to work them into some future videos, but for now you can just enjoy these pictures.

We'll just pretend that Emmanuel thinks he's playing a harmonica, not a comb :)

LETS SALEBRATE

What else can we celebrate? Well, I turn 29 in just 2 days! I don't know about you, but I've always enjoyed getting older. Seriously, its something I look forward to each year! So to Salebrate, everything in the Merchandise Store is 29% off - T-shirts, totes, and CDs! The code is automatically applied so just checkout as you normally would.

Fall is here, hear the yell // back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues // climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we're gonna be friends
