I finished my piano year off with a recital that I thought would be fun for the kids and decided to make it my last. I've had such a great time teaching the kids and I will miss them very much, but now that I work full time I was too exhausted doing both. So I thought I better post a picture of some of my adorable students at the recital, although not all of them could make it.
They brought me some wonderful gifts and sad cards telling me they wanted me to be their teacher again...almost made me reconsider! I made some prizes for each of them including "Best Practicer," and "Fun Lesson" awards. We had a good time and maybe one day I will go back to teaching again.
Scott and Kellie had baby #2, Emri Lou Ady. Jeff and I got to visit her in the hospital and were shocked at how adorable this little girl was with SO much hair! I love holding this cutie pie and am so excited for the Ady family to finally have a girl!!
Well the big piece of news in Calgary is the record breaking floods (which I'm a little late blogging about). I never thought there would be such a disaster in my own city but on June 20th, after days of rain, Calgary was flooding and declared a state of emergency. 100 000 people evacuated from their homes. Luckily my family was all safe, but it was crazy to see the damage all around us. High River was hit the hardest and houses were ruined. Salt Lake City has sent loads of supplies and the "Mormon Helping Hands" are doing great things in the cleanup of the town. Jeff has gone a few times to help out in High River with cleaning out basements that have been drenched in sewage water. Here are a couple of photos of the flood in Calgary found on the internet.
Sarah came to town a couple of weeks ago and we went for pedicures which was so much fun! My second cousins, Yasmin and Lauren, also came to town from England. We went to a Stampede breakfast and I look forward to seeing them at the cabin as well!
