Maidens IV Concert

We went to a Maidens IV concert Wednesday night.











Here's a video:

3 Maidens in White - Video of our Performance

Everyone said this Irish concert was much better than our first one, though I'm not quite sure I agree. But anyway. We're not exactly in white in this video because Charity objected to wearing our white dresses, so you'll have to imagine. :-)
Apologies for the blue light stripe going down the center of the second part of the video...I didn't think it would record that (if it shows that sort of thing when you're taking pictures, it doesn't, but I guess videos are different), but it did.

IL Trip part 3: Photography

I don't often get to try my photography skills out on a live model, so I had fun doing it on the trip. Here are some Brennan pictures:











Ayden:



Elizabeth:



Haelley was hard to capture because she hates having her picture taken (though she likes to look at pictures of herself, so yeah...)

IL Trip part 2: My First Quilt

My first quilt was delivered to it's recipient, my second cousin, (I think-he's my cousin's son, whatever that makes him to me)) Brennan, on this trip.
