LJ and Lila's First Music Recital

The kids decided to take up music this year. LJ chose the guitar and Lila picked the piano. Armed with their new instruments, they started music lessons in January. Their first recital was in May.

Lila played The Song of the Volga Boatmen. LJ played Freire Jacques.

As always, many family members were attendance.

Happy Holidays from The Gilliams

We just returned from a holiday trip to Michigan. It was great to catch up with friends and family. The kids got a chance to hang with new friends and see cousins that they haven't seen for awhile. They also got to hang with Auntie Rika, Aunt Debbie and Auntie Gale. Nikki introduced them to White Castle burgers (they loved them; I can't stomach them).

We took a quick road trip to Cincinnati to visit the Johnson family and the Cummings family. While there, we stopped by the Cincinnati Children's Museum and made a pilgrimage to Skyline Chili.
