Amazing Music

Thursday I was invited to join Sue and go down to Kalamazoo to watch Charlotte perform at the Michigan Youth Arts Festival.  It was a great couple of days.  

We arrived just in time for Charlotte's rehearsal.  I took this picture at the rehearsal knowing that I would not be able to take one at the performance that evening because I wouldn't be able to use a flash.  She looked and sounded fantastic at the rehearsal.  

 The whole family showed up for the Thursday evening performance.

 Brittany wasn't here yet but she came in time for the concert.

 Charlotte was the second prize winner and she had her own dressing room.

 After the concert we took another picture that included Brittany.  Everyone agreed that Charlotte was a star that evening.  I enjoyed the time with the family and feel blessed to be a part of the group. What a beautiful family.  

Friday she also sang with her group the Choral-Aires.  She is a senior and will be attending Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin this fall.  She has a beautiful voice and it has been so much fun to watch and listen to her grow in the last few years.

Blessings also arrived on Saturday in the form of a beautiful new baby born to Jessica and Doug.  I am looking forward to seeing this little gem and spending time together.

SO, as one generation grows up and joins the world, a new one comes along to bless us with the beauty of new life.
