music

Graduation came and went. Phew! I have so much to say about that (of course, as always), but for now let’s just talk about Coldplay:) In between moving Grace up to Provo and our nephew’s wedding Dave and I got to sneak away one night with these friends to go…

I think it’s so true that people who can’t see can “feel” more. Lucy can feel music so beautifully. She can’t see sheet music these days. So I think I’ve mentioned before that her awesome piano teacher uses a huge staff and writes out music for her to read. But…

Last weekend, in the midst of all the Nationals and prom hoopla, Lucy had her own big things going on. I promise we don’t always have things to get dramatically emotional about around here, but this last weekend we had a few of them. And Lucy’s MCO choir performance was…

As I was leaving my cello lesson a few weeks ago I asked my teacher for advice about buying/renting cellos. You see, my friend’s daughter I have been borrowing my cello from is returning home from her mission soon, and I wanted to get a jump on how I was…

Last spring we were looking for something special for Lucy to get involved in. She had piano which she loved, (and an amazing teacher who was willing to write out the music large-scale so she could excel), but she longed to be more involved in things bigger than her little…

First of all, thank you for all the love yesterday. I am still working on replying to all that comfort and buoying goodness in the comments, I am so grateful for this beautiful community in this corner of the internet. There is something so comforting about being “linked” to other…
