MCO Rock Band Party

Bryan and I are blessed to be part of a ministry at the medical school called "Medical Campus Outreach" or MCO.  We have participated in the weekly Bible Study for the past 2.5 years and found immense support and friendship as we endured the challenges of medical school, work and Caleb's adoption.  Now that we are out of medical school (I like to refer to it as 'we' went to med school... ha!) we are helping to lead the ministry.

On Tuesday we went to dinner and then had a Rock Band party at our house for the medical students who were not on spring break.  Many of them had never played Rock Band before and we had a great time!  Caleb stayed up past his bedtime but loved socializing with everyone and managed to trick several people into being his playmates for the evening.  Once he realized that our friend Kyle would play cars with him, Caleb would stand next to Kyle and repeat "Down please, down please!" to try to entice Kyle to sit back down on the floor to play cars again!

It was great to spend time with friends and to entertain in our home where Caleb has all his toys, snacks, etc.  We love spending time with the medical students and encouraging them to live their life for Christ and Christ alone!  We are so grateful for the friendships we have in MCO!

The group during an incredible performance!

During one of the songs Caleb went in his playroom with Crystal and did a small piano solo.  I guess he was feeling inspired!

During my second turn on drums, I rocked out to "Wanted Dead or Alive" and ended up with a blister from the drumsticks.  I guess that's what happens when you hit 97% of the notes while rocking the drumsticks.  ;)
