Kindergarten School Picture

This is Killian's Kindergarten school picture from Grove Elementary (Fall 2010).  It took us awhile to get the disk, so sorry about the delay... But here you go, isn't he handsome?

for those wondering...

We survived the "Bowling Birthday" party.  Monday was Killian's birthday, I took 1/2 personal day to go to school and take his treats as well as be able to put the finishing touches on the party.  Here are the cookies, aren't they SO cute?  He invited a ton of friends and got way too many presents, see exhibit B:

not sure why this is side ways... hmmm....

Sad puppy?

I am home sick today, but you would think Emma was the one home sick!!!

Annie

This weekend is the performance of Annie @ Normal West.  Shows are tonight at 7 p.m., tomorrow at 2 and 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.  Now if you read my previous post you will understand how I have been so busy.  I am not physically conducting the pit this year, but have been involved in several other ways, let's just say I am tired from all the hours combined together, this week has been CRAZY!

Grace Family Christmas

Every year (for about the last 12 years, with the exception of the year I was in labor during the performance) I have played for a concert series called Grace Family Christmas at Grace Pres in Peoria.  This year they have a new (beautiful) church out on Rt. 91 (by the Shoppes at Grand Prairie.)  It is a long haul but a very rewarding experience both musically and financially.  If you want to see it the concerts will be televised on NBC on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day.  They have already sold out all performances!!!

Yes, I have been absent

Is there any make-up work?  Yes, ask my husband, he is not a fan of me right now.  This week is musical AND Grace Family Christmas... YIKES!!!  See you next week.....
