Art, Music, and Jalapenos!

Some great friends of ours, the Szymczak's, began a new adventure in homeschooling this year similar to ours with Allie. Their grandma teaches them art once per week, and we were thrilled to be invited to a combination piano recital and art show.


Aly (friend of my Allie) stands proudly in front of some of her artwork.



Relatives and friends enjoyed the piano recital given by Carolyn Rodgers featuring Blake, Aly and Jessi.



Jessi and Lindsay are all smiles!

Savannah and her most favorite Mommy!!!

The party and fellowship after the "serious" stuff.

Ah, yes. The jalapeno portion of this post.....

Brenda decided to try out a new recipe for Ham and Corn Chowder. Good thing we decided to put only one small can of jalapenos in it. The expression on her face was priceless when I asked her if she had tasted the soup yet. As she did, her eyes got huge and her cheeks turned a bit pink!!! But nothing a little extra milk and sour cream couldn't fix. In fact, it was down-right delicious!! (Can I get that recipe???)

This entrance by Jessi is so cute, especially toward the end when Savannah repeats her name.
