beginning with holiday concerts...


Here she is...one of the musicians in the family! This is the granddaughter in the family...along with the three grandsons ! WE ARE BLESSED!!
One of the blessings is that the grandchildren are very talented musicians...*sweet* granddaughter plays the Bassoon with the school Concert Band, she plays the Saxophone with the Marching Band, she plays the Piano because she loves to, she dances (takes Ballet and Jazz lessons for this) and she is taking voice lessons....now that is a lot of music in one young lady.
And here she is with the Saxophone in the *holiday concert* of last night, this picture was taken during the Jazz Band part of the concert...) !! Don't forget this is the gal that quilts with me every chance she gets... remember the *quilt* and *cottage industry* blog entries from a few weeks ago...well this is yet another talent of this *sweet* one!!

You may remember a few weeks ago we traveled to the university for a *concert* involving the two older grandsons, both students at Lehigh U...and the third photo is of the two college boys...~love you Joe and Dan! One is very talented with the
Tuba having traveled many places during his high school years having auditioned into *special* music opportunities. The younger college grandson is in percussion, and if it involves anything with percussion he can play it...actually the last concert at the university, he played a beat on a *board*...yep a plain old board!! GOTTA LUV THESE CREATIVE GUYS!! They also play several other instruments and string instruments, if it makes music they teach themselves to play it!!

Now the youngest grandson is also into percussion, and played in the holiday concert last night, but the pictures are so blurry of the youngest grandson...they were impossible to use......BUT I PROMISE pictures of that guy in another *blog* entry!!

I DO HOPE YOU ENJOYED A GLIMPSE OF 3 OF THE 4....THEY ALL BRING MUCH JOY TO MY LIFE!!

Aren't they just georgous? What great looking kids and sounds like they ARE great, too. Glad the placemats sound easy enough - they really are. It's fun to play with colors and make them very specific to the people. One friend is making them to go with her Fiesta Ware dishes. Another using all boat/water fabric for placemats for their boat. Fun to do. Enjoy.
