At a Silver Stars game

The first thing we think of to do when presented with any long objects-- practice our violin position.

 

 

Baby Gary, at 7 months (adjusted age 6 months) weighs 19 lb 8 oz. Still the biggest baby in the family by far, but some of his buddies born around the same time have caught up to him-- he has slowed down quite a bit and dropped back down onto the charts.  In other news, he has now been diagnosed with asthma.

My professional debut

Three years ago, I was listening to NPR classical on my pink princess castle clock radio when I heard an advertisement for Youth Orchestra of San Antonio's summer camp. I flew down the stairs in hysterics to tell my Mom about it and ask if I could go. Alas, Mom found that the minimum age was eight years old, so I have been waiting all this time.  I placed into the third orchestra from the top, so am on the big kid campus with many middle schoolers, so I am acting very grown up this week (even if I am exhausted enough to nap in the car at the end of the day).

Friday was our first big event-- a mixed level orchestra played at the halftime show of the Silver Stars game.  It was very exciting.
