We had the opportunity to attend the debut of the Minnesota Orchestra's charismatic assistant conductor, Sarah Hicks. She showcased her enormous range, from the hushed intensity of Copland’s Quiet City to the headlong joy of Mozart. We were so thankful to our good friend, Eric, and his generousity!

MMEA

What an amazing palette God has created to paint His autumn! Mom and I followed the Mississippi River down to Saint Louis to see Mark and Dottie, Marc and Greta, and the Goodens. We had a wonderful time visiting, enjoying the fall harvest - pumpkins and apples as big as Stephen's mouth! :) Mark was in good spirits as we celebrated Dottie's birthday with delicious fresh apple crisp.

The Paper Palace Reunited

The Northwest Austin girls celebrated Sara's birthday in style! They met in Uptown and went to a Comedy Sportz show and then out to Calhoun Square for desert at Figlio's. Decadent! What a wonderful chance to catch up!
