This was taken last Sunday (April 10).  Michael is great at wrestling with the kids and making them laugh.

Last weekend was our big Mahler performance with the Billings Symphony Orchestra that we've been practicing for months and months.  It was in German so the music was hard to learn and not very enjoyable to learn, but it was fun to finally sing it with the orchestra and have it come together.  They brought in 2 guests solists as well, it was fun to hear them.  That was probably my favorite part.  To be able to sing like that is pretty much my dream.  Michael went home that weekend with the oldest 3 to help his parents spring clean, so it was just Stahle-bay and me.  It was fun to have just her but hard to find babysitters!  She went through 3 different babysitters in just 2 days.  She didn't love that.

This is my view.  We only sang for 15 minutes at the end but how great to have a front row seat to the orchestra?  And I loved watching Anne Harrigan, the conductor.  She was so graceful and dramatic to watch.
