Busy!

When a person is healthy after a bout of illness, it's hard to sit still! The boys are back taking voice lessons and preparing for the music festival, we're all going twice a week to Karate, and trying to do some visiting when we get a chance. In the fall when I was not able to get out and about so much, I asked my 11-year-old niece Rachel to teach me violin lessons. I didn't actually do much practicing at the time because I was too tired to hold the violin up, but I've been practicing regularly now. Justin was inspired by a Ben Beveridge concert to start violin lessons also. So, whenever I have a few minutes, there's always violin practicing to do! It's getting maybe very slightly less painful to listen to me. I told Elena, Rachel's mom, I'm really happy Rachel doesn't laugh at me.
Today is our only day mostly home this week. Tomorrow we leave for St. Therese to visit Daniel for the weekend.
