"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

Piano Christmas Recital 2011

The girls had their piano recital this past weekend. Izzy played The Grumpy Troll, Birch Canoe, and Jingle Bell Boogie. Lily played Young Hunter and Jingle Bells. They did great! I also got a picture of them with their teacher, Tanis. She has been really good with the girls.


In the picture here you can see Tanis' baby, Zoe. While Tanis taught the girls I would take care of her girls, including baby Zoe. She became my little friend, and would be really happy to see me at church and other places. Tanis said she would sometimes start crying and get upset when she had to go back to her mom, and leave me. Olivia really loved having her come over to play. Zoe is so cute and adorable!
