Abby's Fall Piano Recital

 

 Abby had a piano recital scheduled for

November 10.  We got all ready, and decided it wasn't

wise to go out in the blizzard.  The night before we got 9 inches of snow,

the day of the recital we got 22 inches!  It must be a record.

Abby actually cried about missing it.

She has worked so hard.
We had our own private recital at home.

She played The Ash Grove, which is one of my very favorites!

Baby Alex

  We had a lot of fun watching baby Alex.  

Our girls love babies, especially their little

cousin Alex. Kate wanted to hold him nonstop.

Lucy wanted to feed the baby, burb the baby,

and stay right by Alex the whole time.

What great little moms we have.

 Baby Alex you are loved!

Art Show

 Kate and Rachel had their first Art Show.

It was a snowy night and fun to celebrate 

their hard work.   Good job Katers!

Four Sesons Scottsdale Resort

 

Four Seasons Scottsdale Resort

We stayed for a couple of nights right next to Pinnacle Peak.

  Saguaro Cactus Heaven

We enjoyed swimming and,
even had our own private cabana

by the pool.  We swam, ordered lunch, swam

and didn't go in until the sun was down!

 The Huffman's joined us after school,

and all 9 cousins swam.

 Out of all the pools,

Lucy loved the kiddie pool best.

Afterwards we headed to Ling and Louie's.
Relaxing Day!
