Pictures

Craig finally downloaded pictures from his camera. The first is from Rachel's May recital. Next is Elaine in her new glasses, (worn only for distance). And Lynette in her "horse show" She got a third place and a fourth place ribbon. Then James being camera man at Lynette's American Girl performance of "Kirsten". She played the part of "Mattie," Kirsten's best friend that dies. She enjoyed dying!
Lynette is really getting into drama. She is practicing all summer for a part in a homeschool production of "As You Like It". Right now she is at a summer camp for the arts put on by the city. We'll get to see her perform for that tonight. I'm thinking about trying to get her into some community theater, but it's hard to find one of those that doesn't either practice or perform on Sundays.

Mom, you'll be glad to hear that you have one grandchild at least that enjoys the piano. Lynette is playing everyday and thoroughly enjoying it. She has even done prelude for primary on Sundays. We are going to see if she can do some accompanying for the primary program this fall. It's so nice not to have to nag her to practice. Everytime I ask if she has practiced, she says yes! Now she wants to take violin lessons, and since we have always told the kids that if they played piano for at least a year without having to be nagged, we would pay for any other instrument they wanted to learn, we are in the process of finding a violin teacher. She won't quit piano, of course, but just add violin. She is going to be one busy child this coming year!
