The Mystery of Edwin Drood

The mystery is solved but it depends on which show you went to as who killed Edwin Drood (our beloved Colleen). What a great show this was and how fun that there were multiple endings. I am usually relieved when the shows are over but as this is probably Colleen's last Children's Opera Theater performance, I admit to feeling a little sad.

Colleen, you are an amazing actress and singer and it will be fun to see where God leads you next.

Auf Wiedersehen (good bye in German... I think!)

There she is, a mixture of excitement, pride, and a touch of nervousness shining on her sweet little face. This is how she looked right before she went through security at the airport, all alone heading to D. C. and then AUSTRIA. I think I will remember this look forever.

p.s. she was only alone a few minutes until she got to the gate and met up with some other students from FUS...thank you God!

Fantastic four

The temps are dropping, it's dark by dinner, and I am finally back to my blog... winter must be in the air (although today was more of an Indian summer kind of day) I hope to post more this week-end but for now here are the "fantastic four" the day we loaded up the van and took Michelle back to school.

The License

Colleen managed to pass the Driver's Test one day before her temps expired!
Way to go Colleen!

The Car

The Road

Guardian angels watch over her!

Mystery Solved!

Apparently when you have an excessive amount of pictures on your media card and you try to look at them on the computer they come up in seperate folders. This discovery solved the mystery of the missing Easter/Art Museum pictures. Here is Granny and the kids after touring the Kimono As Art exhibit. Even if we were allowed to take pictures of the Kimonos it would have been impossible to capture the beauty of them. The kimonos and this special day will have to be kept together in that special treasure box in my memory.
