A little bit of everything

Since my computer has been down, it's been difficult to stay updated on the blog. So here's a bunch of randomness from over the past month.

Summer skiffed the top of her lip a while ago, doing who knows what, and insisted she needed a bandaid. I thought it looked hilarious.

I had my second piano recital here in Spokane. The theme was "Name That Tune." Two contestants were picked out of the audience to come up and ring the bell when they could identify the correct tune name of the song my students (and other performers) played. The last song was a grand finale of me, Rhett, Heather, Andy, and Julie called "Basketball Bounce" while Jen dribbled the basketball around. It was a lot of fun. (PS--My two youngest students, the boys in the front, did EXCELLENT! I was so proud of them for their first recital.)

Remember this game? I loved it when I was little and found the mini travel version of it. Summer loves it too and is pretty good at catching those fish!

A few weeks ago, we went to Manito park. My favorite section was the Japanese gardens. They were beautiful!

Summer's favorite part was the ducks.

This is Claire in my parents' back yard while we were setting up for my sister's wedding reception. Love that smile!
