Holding on to the little pieces of peace in our lives. A couple special treats staying in hotels, and lots of time with many different relatives. We got to spend time with the newest baby and the oldest Oma we know! I will add more pictures later, but here is a start. M played a daisy and Princess Dawndrell in the Snow Queen last weekend. It was a really cute version of the fairy tale.

This is the fourth time that our family has gone to school, only to find the parking lot, the sidewalks, the school.

Like I said, the best part is Megan who plays Ivy Linn who is the seasoned Broadway chorus girl with a gorgeous voice. A professional who can give you made-to-order belt levels on the song you are asking her to sing. A non-whining career girl who just wants to advance into a lead role.

Sunday, September 25, 2011. Today Emily, Nana M, Skye, Aidan, Aubrey and I went to CN Smith Farm for some apple picking! The kids looked so thrilled to be getting their pictures taken. Aidan checking up on cousin Aubrey. My handsome little guy! Loading up with apples! Eating lots of apples! Aidan was our picker, and he did a great job! He went in and got all the tough ones to find.
