they play

my two boys. they are the two in the middle. violins in hands. they played .

after all these years of watching them perform, my heart still sings.

Looking back on June

I often get side tracked from doing regular posts. Things big and small seem to get in my way. I get stressed that maybe I should just give the whole blog thing away..... but then I remind myself of why I keep a blog. For my family, a journal, something to look back on. Because all the moments that I blog about are my precious memories, moments that make up my life and I just don't want to forget them.

The month of June was a time of.........

* hosting and celebrating a dear friends blessingway.

* getting ready for my oldest son's 16th birthday, I am still getting my head around it!

* witnessing the beautiful sounds of my son Josh, playing a piece on his violin from the Schindler's List soundtrack.

* feeling a deep appreciation for my beautiful family and friends.

* saving my pennies and getting closer to buying my new camera.

* enjoying our winter fire this year, after a beautiful friend came to my home and cleaned out my fireplace! Thank you Louise!

I have added Josh's beautiful violin piece, just because....

oh, sorry about the bumpy recording (a tripod would of been good).

our carols

this is my boy - and his violin. he was acknowledged, as the longest member of the school orchestra.

he played a little solo - "away in a manger". it is one of my favourite christmas carols.

it was beautiful - his playing and the whole evenings events.

i hope everyone is enjoying this special time of the year.

beautiful music

friday nights for my two boys are spent at youth orchestra rehersals. And every few month they have a performance - what a joy it is to attend a chamber and symphony concert..... all the hours of practice come together to make the most beautiful music one could wish for.

It has been many years now that the boys have been playing. Below are some photos taken of my lads a few years ago - it was very moving, watching them perform at our Steiner Schools Autumn festival.

I think what I love the most - is the joy that the boys get from playing such a beautiful instrument.

thank you Whyatt and Josh for bringing such beautiful music into my world.
