just some pictures

This is a picture of something in our house. Can you guess what it is?

Here is Brigham practicing intently before his audition today at the Texas State Strings Camp.  He said it went well!  He played Vivaldi's violin concerto in A minor, 3rd movement.  It was fun to hear and watch all the kids practicing so hard in that room.  It gives me hope for the rising generation.  :-)

This is Joseph playing Battleship with one of the little children he and Brigham babysat on Thursday.  Their mom was in the hospital with their new baby sister, and their dad went to go pick them up, so we had a 6 year old, 4 year old, and 2 year old in our home for a few hours.  Joseph and Brigham are good babysitters. They played "Zombies" with them (a complicated game involving going outside into the forest with swords and leaf blowers to scare out and defeat the zombies), engaged in many sword-fights, played Battleship, drew pictures, and washed the dog!  Washing the dog was a particular hit and resulted in our lending them all dry clothes while their clothes went through a cycle in the dryer.  :-)

Yes, another cat picture.  This is Luna who was lying so peacefully hidden under some foliage in the back garden.  Cats have a knack for finding the cutest places to hang out.
