Hi there

Not too much to share this week. We are feeling completely better from what I've now concluded was the flu. Works has been overwhelming- I'd say this last month of my life has been perhaps the hardest. Not the worst, just the hardest. I've definitely grown a lot from stretching so much, if that makes sense.
I'm still playing with and LOVE my new camera. Recent pics:


Daniel and Santa Clause at the church Christmas social the other night(I wasn't there to see the santa, I was getting ready to perform O Holy Night in the other room*, but check out our awesome santa). Daniel was exhausted so this was the best we got:


Our christmas tree is up:
From December 2008


Also, tons of videos up on youtube now (mostly for my mother's sake... they aren't anything too exciting, just Daniel being his adorable self).

*which I failed spectacularly, by the way. It was my first time playing harp/singing at the same time. Unfortunately the mic set up wasn't great, the mic was on my right but the sheet music was on the left. I was trying to sing into the mic so I wasn't looking at my music and I lost my spot really bad- had to retry a measure in the middle FOUR times. Eh, well, it was just church, right? I am happy with how my voice sounded at least, even if the performance stank.
I actually had a bunch of people tell me today they liked my imperfect performance, they can tell I'm not without talent and they appreciate that I didn't let it kill the rest of the song. And now a bunch of mommies want me to teach their kids how to harp.
