Lydia and Mary were invited to perform in a music recital being put on by Jill Freestone. Jill teaches music, but doesn’t have a lot of students so she wanted to invite others to perform with her students to make it a bigger event. It was so nice to be invited!
Clarissa promptly started misbehaving, so I spent the evening chasing her around the music store, outside from shop to shop in the strip mall, and all around the side-walk. It was exhausting, but I also admit that I feel sad when I think about not having a baby to chase anymore. She is just so adorable.
Also, a quick note on the Freestones. They have become such cherished friends. Lily and Jill have a wonderful friendship. I love chatting with Kenny whenever I see him, and their daughters have been so wonderful to our children. They let Ammon sit with them at church, and he behaves for them!
Emma (who is now on a mission), Katie and Eliza dote on our kids. They love them, babysit them, invite them to be in plays and art classes, walk home with them and in every way, just befriend them. The are such beautiful people, and again, such cherished friends.
