Where did Winter Go?

We got i-phones in November and fast forward to April. We have a video function on the i-phone and now mostly send videos to our families via e-mail. It's quick and instantly updates everyone on our goings on. I like this but I'm starting to miss dragging out the camera for those cute shots. It's convenient to take photos and video with the i-phone but the picture quality is better on our big camera. So for a trade off, I guess this has been a bit of an experiment. I can pay to put video here but I'm not sure I want to.

So, I was not sure if I should continue with the blog since we were updating family with video, which was the original reason I created this blog. But I have used this to update old friends and introduce new friends to my family. And as a record for the children, the blog is valuable, since their baby books are hidden in some box somewhere in the basement.

This brings me to updating 4 months. There as been so much activity. Christmas, Walker, Cullen and Carys' birthdays, visits and visitors and Resurrection Day (Easter). Not to mention all the mundane but wonderful growings of Walker and the girls.

So I'll try to slowly catch this blog up to date and continue on for the children who may one day look back at this fondly and share this with their children.

The photos are of Christmas, and Carys and Helen's school Christmas pageants.

Piano

We purchased a piano for the family and we are very pleased to have it. Carys can practice properly and Helen loves to plink around. She is another budding musician. I love to play Carys' book and can't wait until she can play better than me so she can teach me. (It won't take long, probably the next book she gets!).

Poppy said it best when he walked by the piano, it looks and feels like it's always been here. It's just right for us.

Vs.

Cullen always felt he was outnumbered. We are not planning on evening the score but at least he has a "little" back-up now.
