Ryan had his end of the year orchestra concert Monday night. I didn't realize it was the entire orchestra from grades 5-12. The gym at the high school was packed...and it was hot. Very hot.
Get this--they had some numbers that caught my eye. In 1993 there were 199 kids in orchestra in that spread of grades. This year there were almost 750.
Needless to say it's a huge program, and the teachers are the reason why.

Ryan got a haircut--very much against his wishes. He refused to speak to me for quite awhile. I did get a smile from him when he asked to get ice cream after his concert. I said that I wanted a nice picture in return. It all worked out, because I was really craving ice cream.

Brady having fun as usual....

Someone mad in our house as usual...you never know who it will be. Tonight it was Olivia. I can't remember why, and frankly, I didn't give her an ounce of attention for it.

I love the picture of Olivia. Also, who do you think Ryan takes after?

I love that you bribed Ryan with something you really wanted as well! Great Pictures!

AJ I don't know. For years everyone says he looks just like Thad. Lately people say he is looking more like me. But neither of these photos even really looks like him if that makes any sense. They're too posed.

Yes, he is a combo! Having only girls I'm always interested in your posts about him. And maybe it's not a boy/girl thing at all - it just seems like boys keep to themselves more I guess.

Sounds like Mhd has some GREAT orchestra teachers!

...oh and as Ryan gets older I definitely think he looks more and more like you.
