Love, Love, Love (My Family)

Love, Love, Love (My Family)

Choosing this week’s song topic was sort of a no-brainer, thanks to a certain holiday coming up tomorrow. I’ve written plenty of songs about love, including The Feelings in My Heart (follow the link to get a free visual aide download) and You Are Loved.

But this time I wanted to focus on a very specific kind of love: the kind you feel for your family.

I love the way this song turned out…so much so that I couldn’t wait until today to share it with at least a few people. Any guesses as to which people I sent it to? My FAMILY, of course!


I know there have been many songs written about family love, but there’s always room for one more when it comes to such a wonderful topic. What are your favorite songs about L-O-V-E, either the family kind or just in general?

My Musical Playdate

Mason plays the bells.

My almost-three-year-old nephew Mason came over to play last week! This was a big treat, because he lives in St. Louis and doesn’t often spend an extended amount of time in Springfield. So I had to take advantage of this occasion, and Paw Paw (Mason’s grandpa and my father-in-law) captured some great shots of our playdate.

We spent some quality time playing the guitar…

Mason and the guitar.

The drums were a big hit, as expected…

Mason enjoyed setting up the handbells and then knocking them down like dominoes…

But the best part of our playdate was the big hug I got at the end.
