New Year, New Camera, New Post

Just a few pictures from the week to ease my way back into blogging again. On Monday, Feb. 13, Sydney sang with the Madrigals in a benefit concert to raise money for newborns in Bolivia. It was an eagle project put on by her friend Hayden. Here are two red-headed boys after the concert--Asher and Syd's friend Cason. On Valentine's Day Sydney and Madison came home during school to "study psychology" and make heart cookies.
Here is our attempt at taking a food blog worthy picture of the finished product:-)
Sydney and Hayden after the concert:
On Saturday, Jonah was evaluated by a judge for his rendition of "Hall of the Mountain King" on the piano. He received a "Superior Plus" for his performance--only the second one that day to get the highest rating!
Jonah is a dedicated piano student!

Bridgie on Valentine's Day! She is always up for a picture!

Experiment

I saw this "smilebox" on a friend's blog, so I tried it out. It took me about 5 minutes to do this--love the jazzy music? What a fun little tool!
