Last Day of February

Well, February is almost over. 
It was a seriously busy month for us! 
We did lots of doctors appointments, lessons, practices, performances and the Alabama All-State Orchestra Festival. 
Photo high-lights from All-State:

Abby, 9th chair, 1st violins in the Festival Orchestra...

 

 

Hannah, 11th chair, 2nd violins in the Sinfonia Orchestra...

And Josh (who experienced a minor hiccup during his audition) 4th chair, 3rd violins in the Consort String Orchestra...

 

 

 Some links to performance videos (not mine) on YouTube....

Couldn't find a video of Josh's orchestra. :o(

 

 

 

 

Anyway, it was another great success for my kids.  Lots of fun, lots of hard work, hopefully some learning as well.  Really appreciate all the effort that goes into this program!

 

After today I will also have run 46 miles this month (almost 50!!!) since I am now completely back in the groove with my exercising following weeks of trips to my local favorite chiropractor, Dr. Peter Keen!

 

On to March!!!

(And hoping for things to be much calmer...please!)

Victor's Crown Video

Coming out of bloggy hibernation to promote this fabulous video performance.  Several students from ASFA performed with Israel Houghton, Darlene Zschech and others when they were in Birmingham on tour back in the Fall.  (I couldn't attend due to other commitments...just took Abby there and had a look around during the set-up.)  It was really exciting for them all...and for me!  And I am so impressed with this fabulous video!  So thankful that my children can attend this incredible school and have these experiences!  Appreciating Ms. Kim Scott for running the Music Department!  All Abby's teachers and violin instructors for helping her along!  Etc. Etc. Etc.!!!!!!!!!!!

Now here is the link:
