Orchestra Concert--Abby on Cello






I am literally bursting with pride for my little cellist. Abby is a girl with many, many talents and I am so proud of her. Last week she had a orchestra/choir concert. She played the cello and even had a solo part. She is in the middle on the right, I try to zoom in on her at one point.
Then she sang in the choir concert.
It was especially nice to have Dan join me at the concert. I am really pretty use to going to these wonderful events alone. However, it is always really fun to have Dan join me and know he is enjoying our kids as much as I do. Another added bonus--Andy volunteered to stay home and watch Estee so we could listen to the concert with out any outburst or interruptions. Dreamy.
Abby is playing basketball right now as well, and I took a bunch of pictures at her first game last week and I don't know what happened to them. Estee was nearby so I think she may have had something to do with it. Hmmmm. All I have left is a video of Estee cheering Abby on before the game started. It was really cute, Estee LOVED cheering for Abby. She kept saying "go Abby" in this really angry voice. They won the game by one point!! Pretty exciting stuff. It's getting a tiny, tiny bit easier to take Estee to sporting events for the bigger kids (knock on wood, knock hard on wood).
Jake was also very fun take to the game, he is so nice to Estee and is always willing to help her (or help me with her).

Musical Night


Here are the boys warming up for the big duet (on top of old smokey)!
We had a fun night of recitals! How exciting to have piano and cello recital all in one night! The only problem was that they were both at the same time! So luckily Dan was able to take the boys to their piano recital. While the girls went to Abby's cello recital. Luckily Dan got some good footage of the boys playing their pieces (see below). Unfortunately, the camera I was using had a dead battery! But you can take my word for it--Abby was spectacular on her cello!!
