Our holiday party

We must have had about 50 people at our holiday party, many of them kids. At one point some of the kids, Ronan, Jasper, Leila, Sophia were sitting in the living room playing instruments together. Making music! Here is a photo:

Big weekend

This weekend we had Sophia's ballet recital (the nutcracker), and a holiday party at Mike and Shelly's house. Then on Sunday a birthday party at Siena's house and then Sheila arrived! right before our own holiday party. Here are a few photos. More to come, soon I hope, but not tonight.

Will there be drums in her future?

Thalia spotted the drums on the stage at the Blue Bear party last weekend and made it clear she wanted to play on them. She had a lot of fun, too. Who knows? Maybe we will have to get her a drumbset!

On another note, Sophia keeps asking for a violin. Again tonight she asked Santa, who was at the Ducks Nest party, for a violin. She doesn't know that she will be getting one! Almost every day she asks me to tell Daddy that she wants a violin.

"Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens" this is a song they both love to sing right now. I taught it to them. They are good! I will try to get Steve to record them singing this song.

Eight parties in eight days...I'm about 2/3 the way through and fighting a cold. I'd better go to sleep now!

Photos from Randall's Service this past weekend

There was a wonderful collage of photos from Randall's life on display at Randall's service this past weekend. I took a few photos of these photos with my iphone.

Sheila with Santa (years and years and years ago!)

I remember when Sheila used to look like this!
