Music in the Air!

I remember talking to Rita Zimmerman about how concerned I was that there was no music in our home... I had figured that we just wouldn't be one of "those kind of families". She told me not so and that in a short time I could have live music played in our home. Well this past week and a half has proven her correct. Within just a few years... which have gone past so very quickly... music is now a daily occurance.

I took this picture just because I wanted to "remember when" his feet didn't touch the floor... He seemed willing to be my subject as well...

How fortunate I am to have sooo much music in our home now. With 2 piano players, a violinist, guitarist and the "IPod"... it is almost non-stop. Seriously we love what it brings to our home and welcome the creativity my children provide.

Here is just a glimpse. Starting with a piano recital for Breck & Izaak. Breck has worked on her piece Think of Me from Phantom of the Opera for almost a year... and Izaak has ... well... we are working on him working on his pieces... hee hee. No he does really well and we love it WHEN he practices. :)

Next we enjoyed the end of the year Orchestra Concert where Brant was 1st Chair again. This was an especially great night as he was voted and given an award by his fellow classmates of "Most Valuable Player". He was completely surprised and grateful to receive this award.

AND.. 2 nights later we were off to the End of the year Choir Concert which was really fantastic. Mr. Johnson... the choir director actually had student directors which provided a lot of variety. Brant looked so handsome and it was doubly fun to see him and his good friend Carsten in the same picture...

Carsten won the Directors Award for their Choir. YEAH!!!

So.. What do I do when it is the end of the day and I am absolutely worn out? Of course, I call in Brant and ask him just to play and sing for me.

AND HE DOES!!!

Have a great day and may music bless your lives as much as it does ours!
