Anya and James

Anya participated in the Spring recital with her music school last week.  It's so fun to watch her perform.  Not sure what inspired Mark...but he did a trial run with guitar lessons and enjoyed them.  So he has his own electric guitar now.  Dad might learn to play with him. :)

We always enjoy taking pictures when all six kids are willing to be photographed.  We might not get picture-perfect smiles from all of them at the same time...but that's not real life anyway! :)  So this was our best shot given the minimal attention span of the younger ones.

We finally got around to getting pictures of James since he turned eight a couple months ago.  He's a pretty cute kid.  Here's a sampling:


And here is Anya playing (I think her teacher is smiling because Anya likes to sing when she plays):

Oh we are growing up way too fast! Way too fast! Anya's playing is sounding very musical. That's a wonderful thing! And James is looking so mature and handsome. And all of the kidlets together are such a delightful group. We are all so blessed. Miss you all!
