January...I'm not sure where it went? Madilyn's science fair project was due, at least the experiment part and I have to tell you I really wonder what kids do that don't have parents who'll help them. Because it was a lot of work and I'm all about making sure they do their own projects. Glad that's done.
Jeremy had a birthday. I decided to take some pictures for his office. He has lots of pictures of the girls but only one of Garrett and none of Grant. Here's the collages I put together and then framed. (I'm not a photographer, and I only have a point and shoot, so you know, they turned out OK, considering. Wow I used a lot of commas in that sentence.)
Lastly in January I participated in a vocal...I guess you could call it a competition, sort of. Anyway, I was in the category for people who've taken lessons forever but were not music majors in college. I had to prepare one art song in English, one in a foreign language, and then one more that was either another art song or an opera aria. I did a piece from a Mozart opera first and then the judges choose from the other two songs. Good news. I won my category/division/whatever its called. I'm glad I did it. I won some money that was kind of nice...however not enough to cover the cost of my accompanist :) Still a good experience.
That was January in a nutshell. I really am going to get back on track for my blog.
Beautiful kids. We loved spending a few days with you. And you were the best by far of the winners at the concert that evening. Too bad there was no "Grand Champion".
