Our Summer

Our Summer has been the busiest yet! Music has been an intricate part of our lives this summer. The girls attended music camp - had a wonderful time and learned a lot. Abbey bid farewell to her violin and started cello. (I must say that the cello is a beautiful instrument- in structure and tone. The deep rich tones are easier on a Mamma's ears during practice time. :)

James attended a week long workshop where he began trumpet lessons. He had a recital after the first week. He was able to play a rousing chorus of "Home Home on the Range". The group played the song with just their mouthpieces and you could almost hear the ducks on the range calling to one another.

Zak started violin this summer. He has done remarkably well! He also attended the week long workshop and had a recital at the end of the week. He was given a shadow that helped him throughout the classes. He was thrilled most of all with the class he took on rhythms - no big surprise there. You will find him at home clapping out his rhythm words with a big smile on his face!

Anna has taken up art. We find her work in the most interesting of places. It adds a whole new dimension to our home.
