Chesapeake Youth Symphony CYSO

Lillie is such a smart and talented girl!  We love her for it. Despite not always loving to practice and play violin, she does it in part because she knows we want her to do it and in part because she knows it will be a positive benefit to her. Sometimes I know practices with her has been rough, but she is such a good daughter!!  Tonight she played her heart out for their annual gala event. Because of COVID they pre recorded them selves and will show it in a drive in theater format. Should be interesting. But they had all the youth dress in their concert best and recorded them. It was a long day but she did so well and they sounded like a professional orchestra. Here is a collage of Lillie and her friends at orchestra practice.

Happy Easter





 Wow!  A whole year of being quarantined. And we are still not out 100%. But Easter this year was wonderful. We watched conference and were reminded of what Jesus Christ did for all of us. So thankful for that. We had a great Easter!!

Happy Birthday Lillie

Our little girl turned 16 today. It is hard to believe all that time has flown by. She is remarkable in every way. She is smart, organized, obedient. She is hard working, good at the violin, always does what is asked of her even though she may not fully understand why. She is sweet, helpful, and inclusive. We sure think the world of her. A bunch of her balloon friends showed up to which her a happy birthday!!

Merry Christmas 2020

We had a Merry Christmas. Lillie got a lot of nice things. Santa is always good to her. We can’t believe we have been in quarantine since March. Every year Santa brings Lillie an ornament. This year he gave her a mask ornament!!  Very funny to remember this covid year.

Happy Thanksgiving

Because of Covid we didn’t do our normal tradition of heading out of town, going out to a scrumptious dinner at a fancy restaurant and going shopping at midnight. This year we stayed at home and made our own thanksgiving dinner and decorated for Christmas!!
