Liv had her first concert in the school band... and when the opening performance is 'Hot cross buns' you realize that it is time to quit being cheap and get back into private lessons! Hopefully next year when she is in Middle school there will be more opportunities for her to grow and challenge herself.
Nate and I got a real kick out of the little boy sitting next to Liv (wish I could provide you with video footage... grrr). I asked her after the concert what the heck he was doing the whole time and she chuckled and rolled her eyes.... we are pretty sure he can't play a single note but he just seems so happy to be there!
I was also thinking to myself how thankful I am that Liv chose to play the flute over one of the reed instruments... I would have lost my mind if I had to listen to the squeaks for too much longer. God bless the parents that endure the hours of clarinet or saxophone practice for I am much to weak!
The concert ended with some lovely singing... not sure if any sound was coming out of Liv's mouth or not (now I might have two kids that just mouth the words)! And unfortunately there will be no musical snack of her program for your uh.... enjoyment!
All in all it was a lovely concert and tons of fun to watch Liv play and sing with her friends.
For the past month Lex has had a game every Friday night and then Liv plays her games Saturday morning. Me and Liv got volunteered to sell pizza and snacks at one of Lexi's games by a certain someone that will remain nameless who then conveniently had a work party to go to... we had a grand time though and Liv did a great job handling the money.
Lex just hasn't had much playing time so I decided to video their entrance and warm up at their home game. Of course they made about 10% of their shots on this one and Lexi's comment to me was that she wanted me to redo it so we will see if I can learn how to operate the damn camera for her last home game tomorrow... fingers crossed.
I also had footage of Liv in her game last Saturday so I will try again this Saturday :)

Nate is busy with work as usual, always taking on new challenges and making me feel like a total slacker!! He has found an indoor golf dome that he has been frequenting weekly, we have to find something to do during these long, cold winters or we may just go nuts.
I continue to despise rotations. I am done with my surgery rotation today and will be happy to move on. I feel like surgeons are from another planet and one that I would never want to live on! I start a family practice rotation next and am really looking forward to it, hopefully I will be more comfortable.
As for the weather... it sucks! I hope that large rat is right for once and we really do get an early spring!!

I am happy to learn that I am not the only video challenged member of the family. Tell Nate he needs to skip golf for just one day and upload the video's. I am thoroughly peeved that I haven't been able to make it up there in several attempts to witness these games for myself. I will have to have Liv play a couple of numbers for me next time we skype. Those of you who have not taken advantage of that media wonder need to give it a try. We need to get a better camera and mic for Ava.
Liv, I see a promising sales career in your future! I would have enjoyed buying pizza from you! We want video, we want video, WE WANT VIDEO! It is definately nice to find things to do in the winter, good for Nate, bad for me as I have not found a winter hobby! As for you Angela, I hardly think slacker is the word for you! As for the large rat, if Spring isn't on it's way, there may be an assassination of something furry. I hope that they are as good at getting a new rat as Jen is at getting a new Bruce! Ava is begging for the skype, for Liv and Grandma chats, I need to get my butt in gear!
True, Steph, Bruce is an interchangeable animal. We tried to name this one Linus but the kids continue to call it Bruce. I do agree that we kill the groundhog if we find that it has lied to us. I NEED spring!
Good luck with the family practice rotation. I hope you find your element there.
