Catch-up! Installment No.1

A gigantic 'HULLO' to all of you!!

Well, since I don't have the time to explain all of it {and I'm certain you don't have the time to listen}, let's let bygones be bygones, in re to the whole I-haven't-posted-in-six-months dealio, eh wot? =P

Thank you for understanding. =)

However, we both may have the time to share and look at some photographs of recent-ish happenings.
So, here you are!

We are still enjoying music as a family - Heidi has made excellent pro-gress in her cello and piano!
