auntie h. and uncle j. babysit

h. and j. came over so that i could go to j.'s violin concert at gordon. we are so lucky to have family nearby to babysit for us. i don't know how people do it without family close by.

ella has a really precious relationship with her auntie h.

here she is reading stories with uncle. j.

the concert was amazing. j. was able to sit with me for the first half, and then he went down and played Tchaikovsky's symphony number 5. i don't think i've ever heard that piece before, but it was absolutely gorgeous. i'm so glad i was able to go.
