Happy Halloween!

Here's a picture of Mommy and the new baby at the end of August, at 23 weeks. Mommy might not share any more of these pictures, as she seems to be getting too large to fit into the picture. Third time's a charm, I guess.

Our last few months haven't been terribly well documented in photographs, mostly because we haven't done much besides attend school and various lessons and watch Mommy try not to get sick while lying on the couch. However, we *have* managed to practice violin almost every single day since returning from the NM Suzuki Institute. I believe that I am in a race with my friend Analise so I am learning new songs feverishly, hoping to catch up to her. I am perfecting my Book 1 songs for my upcoming recital (TBA) and am plowing through Book 2, where I am learning "Musette." Look at me go! Don't mind the steam cleaner in the background, Mommy has developed a superstitious belief that putting it away will result in someone soiling the rug within 24 hours. Because it is true.



Madeline is still mastering her Twinkles, but she's made lots of progress lately. Sometimes violin music makes Cleo kind of nervous.
