Cousin Time!

I'm playing catch up with some old photos! We visited Murray's parents back in March and spent some time with the family there. The girls got to dig through their great Nana's old jewelry and play dress up, have a sleep over with their favourite cousin, Mr. Bojangles and there might have been a little spoiling by some grandparents but I couldn't say for sure since I spent some time with my bank friends and didn't actually witness any of that. ;)

It was a busy but fun weekend and we did get to see quite a bit of our nephew which was also great. The girls just dote on him and it is so adorable to watch them with him! They have the cutest conversations and let him do whatever he wants and never get bored or impatient with him. Nanny & Grampy set up bunkbeds so they can all sleep in the same room when we visit. Listening to them chat & giggle themselves to sleep is priceless, hilarious and adorable all at the same time! I wish we could have these get togethers more often! Hopefully with summer coming, there'll be more cousin time in our near future!

More music!

More performances for Lovey! She competed in 5 different events and got first place in 4 of them and 2nd place in the other. She had 3 solos, a duet and a trio to prepare. All her pieces were performed within 36 hours! It was a lot of running, a lot of practicing and a lot of sparkle hairspray but she loved it and was so pleased with her marks and comments from the judges.

She looked and sounded fabulous and she enjoys her spotlight moments! She got in trouble from her teacher because in the middle of one of her performances, she posed for the camera while I was grabbing a shot of her playing. She never missed a beat or bow stroke but made sure to look right at me for the shot (I was only going for an action shot and did NOT tell her to do that, I don't mess with serious violin teachers!!!)

She also appreciated everyone who made it in to watch her play. She loves her fans so thank you to all who came!
