The Symphony

Jer's two passions are classical music and chocolate... luckily I like them both as well.  Two years ago, we had lots of tickets to the Utah Symphony.  We enjoyed it so much that we did it again this year for Jer's father's day present.  Jer's dad also realllllllly enjoys the Symphony.  So we go double dates and it's always fun... despite things like traffic.  This year we've gone to Mahler's 7th Symphony and Dvorak's 2nd Symphony.  I LOVE Thierry Fisher.  He just signed another 10 year contract for the Symphony... looks like we'll be going a lot in the next 10 years.  It honestly wouldn't be able to happen this year without my family though! Last time we could get a sitter for the 5-6 hours that it takes to pick up Jer from work and make our way up there and back... With baby Seth it's harder.  He's not a happy baby, and while he's happier with my family than he is with sitters, he's still not always chippowah.  The last two times that we've tried to leave him with a teenage sitter (both of whom we've used and loved before), he's frustrated them to no end and even scared our favorite one off of any immediate sitting opportunities.  But between my mom, Seth, Janelle and Dad they're able to love him and cuddle him into all sorts of good things. 

This last time, Evelyn had been telling me about how my sister, Janelle had painted her fingernails and that she had to be careful because they would "melt off" if we got into the car without her coat over her hands.  Funny girl.  The time before last, Sammy and Ada excitedly told me all about getting to finish the Indiana Jones movie that we'd started but never finished.  They were in heaven.  Sammy has become a fan.
