Time for another catch-all post - lots of "little" things have been happening around here that are keeping us busy in the Reynolds manor!
The month of love brought a piano recital at the beginning of the month - my student's put on our "Winter Extravaganza" and I have to say I think it was my favorite recital yet! I love seeing kids perform and overcome that fear that can almost be paralyzing - I have felt it myself when performing and with every chance to play in front of people you learn how to deal with the nerves just a little bit better. As for me, they pre-performance jitters have never gone away and I am not entirely comfortable playing in front of people to this day. So, kudos to these kids for recognizing their ability to do hard things! Here are a few of the photos!
So proud of all of these kids and what they are accomplishing by learning music!
Mike and I were also able to go on a temple date night this month. It is hard to find the time to fit in these temple trips - but SO important. I love getting some time in with this handsome guy.
The Reynolds also returned from their mission to Big Island in Hawaii! It has been fun to have them around & catch up on their mission stories. Grandpa Jim was especially helpful in watching the kids while I taught lessons (Mike had to travel to Texas for work) and Calvin enjoyed his special Grandpa time everyday!
The boys enjoyed getting reacquainted with Grandma and Grandpa Reynolds!
Lastly, I dyed my hair! It was so fun to spend a day at the salon with a dear friend and get my hair done. Grandparents were with the kiddos so it was a great getaway. I think I am going to go back to my natural color, maybe a little lighter who knows?
Well that's about all the news.. stay tuned for the riveting announcement on what I decide to do with my hair. hahahah ;)
