Adrianna’s been asking to take violin lessons for awhile, and we decided it was time to get started. We chose a teacher that plays fiddle in a Celtic band, because fiddling in particular is what Adrianna is interested in learning.

Snow Play
Adrianna is a good big sister. She pulled her sisters around and around in their sled this afternoon. Cate was very insistent and proud to be “helping” me shovel the snow this afternoon. With her toy lawnmower. Adrianna made a little snow cave.
Bree’s First Scrapbook
Bree’s first scrapbook. She enjoys looking at my scrapbooks so it will be fun to help her create her own. Such a fun gift from cousin Thomas and Linda!
Learning About Orchestral Music
Each week, the girls and I read about a different composer and then listen to excerpts of their work or watch their pieces be played by an orchestra on Youtube. This week, it was Igor Stravinsky and his “Rite of Spring.” Adrianna liked the dissonance found in the piece and we were intrigued to learn […]
Vessels Christmas Party
All dressed up for a Christmas party. She was excited to wear her flower girl dress and shoes again!
Kristi’s Wedding

Halloween at Hogwarts. We had a dementor, Moaning Myrtle, Luna Lovegood, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, a Slytherin student, Professor Trelawney, and an ominous hooded figure. Oh, and Rainbow Dash, Minnie Mouse, a large spider, and a 20s gangster. It was a fun Halloween! I am so glad Karen and Cindy and families could celebrate with […]
Lego Chima
Adrianna LOVES Lego Chima. Not just the actual Lego sets but especially the show. She talks about Chima all the time. So when Lego Magazine had a challenge to build a Lego Chima fortress, of course she had to submit an entry. Love her so much!
Big Sisters and Bedtime
Adrianna offered to do the bedtime routine with her little sisters tonight (teeth brushing, bedtime story) and I gladly accepted. There sure are a lot of giggles and the sound of kids running around upstairs. I am trying not to interfere and am going to relax with the Gilmore Girls.
Lakeside
Having a mother/daughter date night at Lakeside Amusement Park. My stomach isn’t as strong as it used to be though! I think my head is still spinning.
