Keri decided to be in the Strings group at school this year, so we rented her first violin at 8 pm yesterday. It is a 1/4 size--very small! She decided to figure out how to play it on her own tonight, and she and Jonathan have played their first duet! While I am posting this, they are learning more songs and perfecting this one.

Keri, Jonathan, and Pam had a fabulous time in Philadelphia, Valley Forge, New Jersey and New York City, as we traveled for a research study for Keri. We saw so much history, and saw cousin Robin and Aunt Leah, and Allison's fiance, Nathan. Here is the lighter side of our trip.

We spent a fun-filled week in New Mexico and Arizona, and even a couple hours in Utah at Rainbow Bridge on Lake Powell. Tours of various canyons, as well as the mountains of Albuquerque were amazing! A great time was had by all!
