March 22, 2013 - Arts in the Commons

This year during Arts in the Commons, Jason was up in Gainesville at Shand's having a sit-down meeting with his pediatric cardiologist, his replacement cardiologist, the surgeon, and the ICU nurse.  They talked for over 1 1/2 hours and Jason had all of his questions answered.  Unfortunately, because of our upcoming vacation and Jason's surgery, I am trying to save all of my vacation time, so I could not go to Arts in the Commons.  Instead, Mamaw went to Ashlyn's portion and Wai-po went to Kaylyn's portion.  They bought their artwork and Kaylyn had won 2nd place in the recycled art project for 5th grade.  Mamaw provided some pictures from this event and I took a picture of Kaylyn's recycled art project.  Kaylyn drew a butterfly, while Ashlyn drew a bow tie for their framed artwork that was bought.

March 23, 2012 CCA's Arts in the Commons

CCA had their annual Arts in the Commons where we as parents get to go to the school and listen to our kids sing and then buy their art work framed.  Kaylyn's class did one song with the recorder (and it was actually pretty good) and then sang two songs.  Ashlyn's class did two short songs with bells, a short song with spanish numbers (Ashlyn was Ocho, but she kept holding it up when they said Seis) and then a normal song.  Later CCA's Regal Choir sang three songs, which Kaylyn is in.  I'm really amazed at how far Kaylyn has come with her singing.  She sounds so sweet when she sings and yet still carries her voice across.  It was very cute!  Ashlyn drew a cat again and Kaylyn drew a tiger.  They are definitely better than last year, but they don't get their artistic talents from their daddy...unfortunately, they get it from  me :-)  I forgot to snap a pic of their art...sorry.
