On Friday my mom, the kids and Abe all went to the ward Halloween party. I skipped it to go to yoga. Just as I was about to leave, I got a text from Jessi, who was skipping her ward Halloween party to go to an oboe and bassoon concert. She invited me along, so I did the math and realized that if I RACED after yoga, I could do yoga and still make it to the concert.<\/p>\n

It ended up being a most wonderful concert. The bassoon is such a comical, delightful instrument. Jessi is a professional bassoonist and worked for a while as an adjunct bassoon professor at BYU-Idaho, so she knew everyone performing and, it seemed, half of the audience too. I loved the people I met and asked Jessi if she could give me the music to the Poulenc trio so we can play it together (with an oboe player) sometime.<\/p>\n

When we went in for the trio, we started talking, and we didn’t stop talking for the next several hours. We talked about faith and marriage. There were a lot of tears and it was one of those conversations that I will probably never forget. I love Jessi and admire her so much.<\/p>\n

Here are the pictures from the party that Abe managed to take. He didn’t take a lot because he had his hands full. Ammon was, in the words of my mom, on a very long leash. At one point, Abe decided he should actually try to locate Ammon, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time. He discovered Ammon pushing through the second set of doors to leave the church building. It was a good thing he checked!<\/p>\n

A photo I snapped as I rushed out of the door on the way to yoga. We were in the middle of making candy apples, and I was so happy to turn the project over to Sophie.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Mary was a gum ball machine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Clarissa was a cow. All of our kids have worn this costume at their first or second Halloween.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
