Caleb's Piano Concert Debut!

Tonight we traveled to Westminster College to see Caleb in his piano concert debut! He got to perform first in a concert of 16 talented kids. He was the youngest and the shortest as you can see:

Caleb did an awesome job and we are very proud of him!

Here he is with his piano teacher:

And here is his wonderful performance for those of you who missed it:

Jewelia's 4 Year Old Pictures

Here are Jewelia's 4 Year old pictures we took the other day after Macey's "look of death" picture. At least Jewelia got over her fear of photographers. From about 18 months to 3 years old, Jewelia wouldn't smile for them either. It's OK, though, because what a cute picture she takes now!

She loves getting dressed up in her "Princess dresses" and she's quite the poser.

We kept the top 2 pictures for our walls.

(Oh, and don't worry, we haven't forgotten about Micah and Caleb. They will be having some big events to post about soon enough! Caleb has his first piano recital next week and Micah has his dance recital early next month.)

The Look of Death

OK, so many of you who have been around us know Macey doesn't look kindly to strangers, and she has this sort of "look of death" that she likes to give people. She furrows up her eyebrows and gives this look to kill.

Well, gee, can't she get over it? I mean, really---today we went to get Jewelia's 4 year old birthday pictures taken and I thought maybe we would try once yet again to see if we could get a decent picture of the girls together, but noooooo. See what we got? The look of death. The poor photographer finally gave up and we just went ahead and did the pictures of Jewelia. (Those we will post later.)

Really, those of you who do know Macey and can get past her look of death know that she is a sweet little girl and actually happy. Just to prove it, I went home from the picture place and took a bunch of actually smiling pictures of Macey with Jewelia. Too bad it can't happen at the photo place though.

(Oh, and if you are wondering, no, we didn't purchase the look of death picture. I suppose it is kind of funny, but no, we didn't get that one.)
