First of all, Jill arrived for Creative Friday. Instant mood-lifter. Even though I still had plenty of Eva struggles before I got her down for her nap, it didn't bother me as much as it normally would because I knew I would get some quality conversation time with Jill.
Secondly, Max got his acceptance letter today for the Utah Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra!
He is so excited and I am so excited for him. I am sure this will greatly enrich his musical experience and open many doors for him.And finally, my niece Fiona was born today!!
Isn't she beautiful?
Jessie and Timm welcomed another baby girl into their family this afternoon, earlier than planned, but she was ready to come into the world. It was so strange to be so far away, it hardly seemed real -- until Timm put the phone up to little Fiona and I could hear her adorable sleep noises. It's real now!
Fiona and Timm share a birthday, how cool is that? And I get to go see her in person in just one short week...
It was definitely a very happy day!

That is a very happy day! Congratulations Max on getting into the orchestra--you'll have to let me know when your concerts are. :) And congratulations on being an aunt again, Michelle--that is SO exciting!!

i'm glad you had a happy day, it is very well-deserved!
That top picture is so pleasing!
Congrats to Max! That is so awesome and what a great age to be going into that program.
I would be chomping at the bit if I knew I was just a week away from that sweet little baby. I am SO glad you get to go and hold her and help and all that. :)
Congrats on the safe delivery of your new niece!! Thank goodness for babies! They always make everything better!
I think it's the old rule about expectations. When you expect something to be bad, it's always better. Though I'm not sure it's as good as your day was! I'm so happy for Jessie, and that you get to go out there!
What a day! You're a champ for dealing with the Eva struggles so patiently, my fuse is so much shorter than yours!
Congratulations to Max, that's so exciting!
I'm thrilled for Timm and Jessie!
What a fabulous day! Congrats to Max, Timm, Jessie, Bella and of course you Michelle. How fun to get to see her in just one short week!

Congratulations Jessie! Congratulations Max! Sounds like what could have been a very crappy day turned into a much better one.
Well, maybe NOW I will remember Timm's birthday! Yikes! She (Fiona) is a beautiful doll and just as cuddly and adorable as she looks!
Congratulations, Max-man! I had no doubts about your being accepted!
OH! She is darling! What a sweet little girl. Congrats to Max, too. That is impressive stuff. I'm so glad a sub-par day improved so much for you.
I'm so excited about Fiona. I wish I could hold her.
I'm so happy your day brightened up!
Congrats on darling new addition! I love the name! So cute!
Congratulations to Max and Jessie (and family)! That is an awesome accomplishment for Max and I am so happy that Fiona arrived safely. I am a little jealous that you get to go and see her so soon. Have a great trip!
If it were up to me I would have chosen orchestra over football for my boy. I think these lessons of hard work and dedication can be learned through many different means.
Hooray for Max! Hooray for Michelle for encouraging Max!
I love the photo...and the recipe. Oh I do believe I see a new cookbook on the horizon.
