And life goes on
As usual, NC weather has proven to be predictably unpredictable. We started getting a nice fall, then it got warm and humid. It was really cool today (loved it!), but this week is supposed to be warmer again. At least it IS getting cooler. Seasons are amazing, aren’t they? Isn’t it neat to think how much detail God put into His creation, even down to the change of seasons?
We’ve been staying busy here. Lots happening!
^This^ little girl lost her front tooth. Boy, does she look cute with that gap in her mouth!
It’s hard to tell the tooth is gone, but it’s definitely not there.
They love having tea parties. Dressing up (over PJs, of course) always makes it more fun!
The CSYO performed at Freedom Park’s “Festival in the Park” a couple weeks ago. They played for about an hour. Loved hearing the orchestra! Christopher had a few solos, so we cheered extra loud for him.
Dr. Pereira has been conducting the Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestras since 1988.
Joseph and Hanna came home from college for the weekend and went to the concert with us!
Missy is LOVING being in choir. She’s been listening to the CD her director gave her and singing her choir songs. It’s so cute when she ^sets up^ her dolls and stuffed animals and conducts her own choir.
This is Rebecca. She was Jen’s when Jen was little. I remember when Christopher was shorter than her. Marianna and Missy still play with her. She’s lived a long life!
Mom took the little girls and went with some friends on a field trip to Windy Hill Apple Orchard. This was one of our favorite places to go when we were younger.
The girls got to hear the Johnny Appleseed story, go on a hay ride, make a scarecrow, get apples, and eat/drink donuts and apple cider.
Petting some of the farm animals
This man has been doing this for years. He’s so great!
The kids and the moms
They had the perfect weather for a day on the farm!
Mom and the girls also went on a field trip to Old Salem with some friends.
The girls had fun dressing up and walking around the historic place.
Having some fun
We have a third cellist in the family!! Missy officially started taking lessons from Jen a few weeks ago. She’s doing a great job and has already played at a retirement home for a small concert we put on. It’s so cute to see her carry the cello on her back…it’s as big (or small) as she is!
Guidance from Jen
Who doesn’t like to make bubbles with our milk?
Can’t wait to share some *exciting* news about Wescottage Music soon!!!
Attempted to make cinnamon buns a few weeks ago.
Camping out in the backyard!!!
Missy put herself under a hamper and asked to be covered. I don’t know how long she stayed there, but it was a long time. Silly girl!!
Enjoy the fall weather!!
