I don’t mind what you call tomorrow…I just hope you enjoy it.
For me, this is a family time I appreciate. My Mom arrived last night to spend the week with us.
I’m happy that after a rough few days early last week (Chron’s disease related) I’m feeling better again. This is likely to be my healthiest Christmas ever :) (because of avoiding various foods) I’m feeling quite proud of myself that I made cookies with Esther and didn’t eat any myself.
By the way, I have a personal/family blog as well as this one, in case you didn’t know. It’s here: Love is the most excellent Way.
If you go there you’ll find lots of recordings of my children playing music plus a time lapse video of putting up the Christmas tree.

Comments OffThis is just family news…but it’s a big deal to us!
My children played (violin) in a concerto competition on Saturday. This was to determine which local young musician would have the privilege of being soloist with the local community orchestra at their next concert.
We thought both our children played their best, but there were fourteen finalists in this competition (nine of them violinists) and so we didn’t know what to expect. We were very happy for my son when the organizer called that evening to tell him he’d won the competition!
My husband made audio recordings of their performances and the links to those are on his website here.

I think every parent has hopes for their children. And if you aren’t currently raising children maybe you have nieces or nephews or grandchildren you have hopes for.
