Pops!

This weekend dad and I went to a Cincinnati Pops concert. The theme of the concert was Broadway Night and the guest artist was Brian Stokes Mitchell (a Broadway singer we learned of from attending a Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert a few years ago)

We stopped by The Levee before heading to the show. (Heather: There's a kids' train that goes around The Levee now for Anders and Tom and Chee now has gluten-free bread!)

Tom and Chee out on the patio. Its a fun place to eat because it has a cool view of
the Cincinnati skyline

The concert was at Riverbend (which we both had never been to before) and we discovered that Riverbend is Coney Island's amphitheater. (Coney Island will be a fun place to take Anders when he gets a little bigger, they had a fun looking kids' area)
The concert was great! The Pops and Brian Stokes Mitchell were both stellar and it was a fun night of great music.

Andrea's Big Week

It's starting to dawn on me how close my baby sister is to being an adult. This week I took her to Sinclair to get her Tartan Card. (She's all registered and set to start Sinclair classes in the Fall.) I'm happy that she's going to Sinclair (my Alma Mater), now to work on convincing her to join Phi Theta Kappa....

This week she is also serving a "mini mission" (where she'll get the full experience of being a full time missionary, but for a week rather than 18 months) in the Cincinnati area. (Hamilton for those who know Ohio well :) Sadly I was working when she reported for her mission so I wasn't able to send her off. When I saw this picture later, I was blown away by how much she actually looks like a sister missionary (..and rocking my cardigan better than I do!)

Yes, baby sister is growing up, which is making me a sentimental wreck....
