I’ll put up Holly playing Allegro soon and will record Sarah at the recital on June 1.

Three and Half

Her sisters have her duped into thinking this is fun.

She’s not so sure about frogs and toads. This is new territory for a Mama who is used to them by the bucketful.

 

Letting them go required hiding behind Abby.

Winter or Not!

Snowy days, sunny days, and cozy embroider to a movie days.

In Case You’re Wondering

We’re in a season of meeting medical needs due to somewhat purposefully meeting our deductible.  Holly went first and has just had her tonsils out.  We’re all working hard to take care of her and she’s doing really well.  I’ve decided that thankfulness is your child’s surgery being over.

I’m next and will be having extensive sinus surgery to treat the polyp aspect of Samter’s Triad in two weeks.  Spending the day at the hospital is not a great way to mentally prepare for surgery.  Ahem…

Suzuki Camp 2011

Hannah, Holly, and Abby had a fabulous time at Suzuki camp this year.  My lovely Twinkler student (brown dress) was asked to play in the Honor’s Recital.  Great fun for all!

 

Abby in the Honor Recital

Jolly Phonics Books Four and Five!

Still her favorite thing!

So…

I’ve been absent! 

One day I went to download pictures and found that my computer was full.  It was Christmas and recital time and I was deleting pictures from my camera to be able to take a picture with my camera.  It had to end.  I spent Christmas break and the month of January uploading photos to Shutterfly and making photobooks of ten years of digital photos.  (Yes, Dan has our photos backed up elsewhere as well).  I’m finally done and, more importantly, I’ve recovered and I hope to be back to updating here somewhat regularly again.
