Ordinary time

I haven't updated the blog for a while. Things around here have been very.....normal. We are thankful for being healthy and busy enough but not too busy. Here's a little update on each of us:

Andrew: Playing his new violin and sounding great! Has a new teacher for a few months, while Mrs. McCann is on maternity leave, went to a bowling b-day party yesterday.

Sam: Can't wait for baseball season to start, playing his "twinkles", having a lot of fun in school. Got to go bowling on a preschool field trip a couple of weeks ago with Dad.

Alan: Working on dissertation in every spare moment (it seems to be going well), almost got stuck in Spokane this week in a snowstorm, heading to Colorado Springs later this week.

Shannon: Played Brahms 1st Symphony this week with SSO, and decided it goes on my "top 10" pieces of all time list (if I had such a list - maybe I'll make one).

Here are a few pictures of "ordinary time"....Andrew with his new violin (which looks so big to me compared to the other one I keep think he's playing a viola), Sam getting a haircut, and boys playing in the little snow we had today.
