Music

I received this picture in an email today from another musician in town who hired a string quartet to record some of his arrangements.  It was fun to work in a studio - a first for me.

.

This evening was the "Big Band Bash" symphony concert.  The concert was completely sold out & the audience loved the music. 

E & M

silly sisters....mckinney found a comfortable spot & elizabeth didn't mind a bit!

McKinney Smiling at Jonathan

Elizabeth's Two Front Teeth

Elizabeth really shows her new 2 front teeth when she is sad and so I snapped a few pictures and then snuggled this sad, precious baby!  The last picture will break your heart.

Playing in the Snow

Jonathan wanted to take his sisters outside today to play in the snow.  It's in the low 40's and so the snow is melting.  We can even see grass in some parts of our yard!  We bundled up Elizabeth and McKinney and pulled them around the backyard in the sled.  I wanted to get some pictures of the kiddos and so I took a few and then ran up the deck stairs so that I could put my camera inside for the remainder of our playtime.......

.....when inside I glanced out the window this is what I saw:

Thank you, God, for these children.
