Frozen in Time

The song we’ve been working on this week.

We went to get LG’s dance shoes for her dance class that will start in a couple of weeks. She’s really excited this time because her best little friend is going to be in the class with her, which gives me confidence that this class will be much more successful than those in the past. She’s older and she’ll have a friend with her. I think that’s a recipe for success! By the way, if you look closely, you can see our reflections in her tap shoes.

LG gave an impromptu concert for her imaginary friends this afternoon. First she moved all the chairs she could get her hands on into audience configuration and then she made her own kind of music.

And as a bonus, because I’ve been wanting to try flickr’s video hosting, here’s a clip of the video I took of the impromptu concert if you’re interested in watching.

What is music to you? Is it notes on a page? Or the sound of the wind rustling the leaves? Or the voice of someone you love? Is it the piano or the drums? Can music be something you see with your eyes or is it just something you hear with your ears? Can you take pictures of music? Can your pictures make us hear what you hear? Or maybe your pictures can show us what you see when you hear music. Or tell us what music you think of when you see something through your lens. Or maybe you have totally different ideas about how to take pictures of music. But that’s your challenge this week!

My mom loved clouds. She would draw them, paint them, take photos of them. And I like to think on cloudy days that she is dancing across them, looking down at me looking up at her. That somehow we’re connected by those clouds.

LG watched Cars for the first time today, and a few minutes into it, she ran into her room to get her Cars toys and continued to play with them long after the movie ended. The sofa seemed to make a good parking lot.

This piece of furniture is pretty important in our lives - the piano!

Mike took this shot of LG playing with the puppets with one of our awesome teen helpers at VBS. Tomorrow (Thursday) is the last day of VBS, so hopefully life will get back to normal again!
