Patty Playing Violin

Today was the Archbishop Hoban Winter Fine Arts Festival. The talents displayed tonight were the String and Wind Ensemble, Concert Choir, and for the first year ever the Guitar Ensemble. Patty plays violin with the string and wind ensemble who have songs dedicated to just them and other songs where they play with the choir singing.

The performances went from 7pm till almost 8:30 with a 15 minute intermission. It was great to be there and I got to meet Patty’s music teacher, Mr. Kelvington. It is times like this that I am glad that Patty’s Grandmother encouraged these children to pick an instrument in grade school.

Fourth Foot

Eddy managed to earn another foot, before the years end. That brings the grand total up to four plastic feet. In sort of related news Patty and I told Eddy that we thought it weird that he was wearing his school shoes and then having to change into his tennis shoes to do the walking. He agreed that it would be a better idea just to wear the tennis shoes to school, since he starts walking as soon as he gets there.

This should be the last foot of the year, but we will have to see. There still is another week and almost a half of school before Christmas Vacation.
