I'm sure everyone's seen this, but Ethan and I had fun watching it and pointing out the different instruments.

Congrats to Justin!

Justin is starting a new position at Campbell Scientific in January. He will be an application engineer in a new alternative energy group that they are creating, specializing in solar energy. Way to go hon!

Messiah

I took Ethan to a community concert of Messiah highlights this evening. He really enjoyed it and sat still and watched quietly for most of it. He started waving his hands around with purpose and I realized he was imitating the conductor. I also looked over to see a girl near us pretending to sing dramatically with her mouth wide open. Funny kids. I was suprised to hear the concert dedicated to my friend Dan Pack. I was fortunate enough to have Dan as a stand partner while I played with the Cache Chamber Orchestra. He taught violin and viola and I learned a lot sitting next to him. I also really enjoyed his company. So, I wanted to write in his memory.

Happy Birthday Grandpa

My dear grandpa playing with us as kids.

It is DUMPING out there! We've played until frozen. Time to put some wood in the stove.

We woke up to snow the other morning...

Ethan, Collin and Ryan, who live down the street.
