My Somewhere

We all have to start somewhere, and this is mine. How absolutely amazing to create and share all of the memories, happenings and celebrations that take place within our circle. Our family is enveloped of many things. Dad works insane hours to support a family of seven with almost no complaints. Mom plays the role of the ultimate multi-task manager. Our two teenage girls perceive every event in life as some sort of trauma. The two little men in our house are capable of imagining and carrying out almost any kind of mischevious adventure. And our new wee little one has managed, for a while, to turn our house completely upside down! But through all the constant craziness, we are somehow still able to pull together, support one another, and love eachother through anything that's thrown our way. This is what love for seven is all about.

BAND OF BUDDIES

Kieyera has been playing the clarinet in the band at school this year. She has enjoyed her class, teacher, and all of her friends. Most of her friends this year have been made because of band. It has been a great experience for her. She has been talking for the last month about how much she is going to miss them over the summer. Her end of year concert was held last night. She did a super job! They have improved so much from the beginning of the year. She was so excited about playing. I am so glad we were able to see her play. We get to hear the practicing(which can get annoying if you have ever been around a hyper girl and a clarinet), but it was neat to hear the band all together. Kieyera will not be playing the clarinet next year. So this was also a "good-bye band" concert for her. She does not want to commit to an hour of practicing instruments each night, and would rather do other things. This was a choice she had to make. We have not let her give up the piano. So to say the least, piano gets done half way, and clarinet half way. But nothing to their full potential. But overall it has been a good experience for her, and she has met alot of great people. Kieyera is talented in so many ways! She brings much good to our family and others. She is my big helper, and always knows when I need a hug. She is soooo beautiful! She is kind and loving, and always seeking needs of others. I am so glad she is in our family. She makes my days brighter! I love you Kieyera!
