Celebrating the Arts!!

Have you heard of ArtPrize? Picture over 1,200 art exhibits spread throughout Grand Rapids for nearly three weeks. Artists from all over the world, literally take over the city (indoors and outdoors) and visitors can explore and cast their public vote for the $250,000 1st place prize. The energy around this event is amazing. We walked around the city way past the girls school bedtimes enjoying all the artwork.




While we're celebrating the Arts, Emma came home with fantastic news today.

I'm proud to announce that Emma completed her chair test for band this week and placed 2nd chair. There are 15 students that play flute in her band period. Pretty impressive.

Congratulations, Emma. We're so happy for you.

I especially love seeing my flute being used again!!

By the way, it's nearly Friday! I hope you have a relaxing weekend and get a chance to do something that you love!

You know me, I'll be sneaking some Halloween crafting in between loads of laundry.
