Little Moments

Cannon in his happy place practicing his guitar.

Miss Riverton came home for the weekend and this sight on the bathroom counter made me smile. 

She was in heaven at the city's daddy/daughter dinner/dance.

We were feeling pretty lucky to get Bethany home for two weekends in a row.

The tallest and the smallest sisters.

Abe and I enjoyed a nice out out with other top performers at his work. 

Burrito babies!  It was one of those very productive homeschool mornings.

I adore this picture of Elinor and Greta.  Elinor was dutifully trying to study for the ACT, but Greta found her and wanted a picture of a pink dragon.  Elinor happily obliged her.

We can't get enough of our little Greta. Just as we expected would be the case, the older children are warning us we are creating a monster in the youngest child.  Guilty as charged.

The boys were excited to get to go to a Jazz basketball clinic a couple weekends back. 

They really enjoyed it and have been playing a lot of basketball since then-- so a big thanks to Andrea for giving them the spots at the clinic.

Their dance schedules don't leave much time for other organized sports, but it's good to have some basic proficiency in the game.

Abe and I and Cannon and George loved our night at the ballet to see Giselle.  It was so beautiful!

We went to a pre-show orientation/introduction of sorts and the lady teaching it saw the boys and recognized them from their involvement in previous shows (Nutcracker, Swan Lake).  She was so great to offer to take them backstage before the show started to meet the huge dogs that come on stage during the show.  They loved it.

Lots of hugs from lots of littles.  It's pretty much my life right now and it's pretty great.

It's so lovely to have Clark come home for Sunday evenings.  The boys were happy to get a game of Heroscape with him. 

An icicle weapon is quite a find.

We went to see Bright Star at Hale Center Theater last week.  OH! I LOVED IT!  If you get a chance to see it, I highly recommend you do.  And of course, the time with dear friends was so good for my heart.

Faith can be a demanding trainer/coach, but she gets the job done:)

 Sometimes I can't believe she is really here.  What if she wasn't a part of our family?  She was the ninth baby born to us, so it's not a stretch to imagine was could have run out of steam before she got here.  But I'm so glad we have her.
