3 freshly bathed babes

Jack has caught the reading bug big time

We had Isaac and Megan and Isaac's parents over for dinner.  It was a lovely evening with lovely people.

Jack tore it up at soccer this season.  He is playing with many of the same kids he's been playing with for several years now and they are starting to really gel.

At Megan and Isaac's Albuquerque reception at Uncle Jim's house.  It was great to see so many relatives on both sides of the family and the Middle Eastern food was delicious.

Sasha and Jack really got into the trivia game and each won a door prize:  a NY Yankees hat for Jack and a Brooklyn mug for Sasha

The happy couple

Prepping for her Mother's Day violin recital.  She gave an awesome performance of Concertino!

Jack did a great job on his Mother's Day recital as well.  He played March in G by Bach

I requested a family hike before lunch at Santacafe for Mother's Day

Phil surprised me with this commissioned painting to put up in the music room--our family represented by each figure.  So perfect!

Before the first note

Gingerich family dinner at our house the week after the reception

A relaxing afternoon at home

Water balloon fight

My quintet and I performed the Bruch Viola Quintet and a Mozart quintet at a concert Memorial Day Weekend.  We did the same concert the following week in Los Alamos. 

Such a nice day to read and hot tub

We went to our friend's property up in the Pecos one day over Memorial Day Weekend.  It was a fun day of grilling out, playing in the river, and relaxing.

Rio en Medio hike with Penny

Penny was in heaven because the hike required multiple creek crossings and ended in a waterfall!
