Jasmine Performs with the Con Brio Women's Choir

We attended a wonderful Christmas concert last night -- Comfort & Joy -- which featured Jasmine's choral group, the Con Brio Women's Choir, as well as 3 other amazing choral groups. It was great to have Ann join us from Washington D.C., not to mention... Donna too, who just moved back to Washington to stay!

Here is a short video clip of Jasmine singing with her group

Jam Packed June

June was a crazy busy month for our family. I hosted a garden party on June 1, which was like a HGTV in my back yard. A local garden nursery--My Garden--did a garden make-over in our back yard. Amanda kept us busy with lots of fun stuff, including the Ike Choir Celebration field trip, Applause Studio recital, and the Ike Choral event--"Welcome to TV Land." Then we attended Jasmines College Graduation ceremony and celebrated Father's Day all in the same weekend. Not to worry - I got plenty of entertaining stuff from Austin and the cats too. Come back to check out photos from Austin's school family night at the Aquasox Game, Last Day of School fun, our Annual Cousin's tea, and Jasmine's Graduation Celebration. Enjoy the many photos!!!
