We had another wonderful Easter (Ressurection) week. Uncle Jeff, Aunt Molly, and the cousins came to visit us and of course we had an awesome time. Two PORTILLO'S runs (made by Uncle Jeff and Dad), a trip to IKEA, the Dupage Children's Museum, and much more.
For those of you who we couldn't be with, Aunt Sara, Amy, Dan and Jack, we miss and love you all very much!

My Gifted Sisters

Today, Rosie had a Solo & Ensemble Performance. She performed "The Swiss Shepherd", oh and Emily accompanied her on the piano. They both did an outstanding job. The judge was shocked when Rosie said she was in 8th grade! Rosie got a 1 for her scoring, which is the best that you can do. Congrats Rosie! Anyway our whole family went to support Rosie and Emily, it was a neat moment!


On the car ride there, nerves and all!


At home, aftewards. Hence why they are smiling. (care free at this point)
