It's the most wonderful (busiest) time of the year

The kids played violin and piano at a retirement/assisted living facility this week, much to the delight of the residents. It was so neat to see them perform in that context and thereby deliver such a blessing.

We got home so late tonight from the candlelight concert and reception. We had agreed to do the reception months ago and G joined the orchestra a few weeks back, so thank God for technology -- we watched/listened on CC tv while stirring soup and arranging tables.

The kids are on again in the morning, with violins and singing. So they're sleeping fast and hard and I'm about to do the same. Q had a nice big drink of water when we got home so I came here to write while waiting for the ensuing burps and falling back to sleep. Seems he out.

Merriest of Christmas performances and engagements to you and yours. Hope you're having as much fun being this busy as we are. And it'll be over before we know it.

XO.
