-Kaitlyn says shh, down, bad, dog, Archie, amen, open.

-Gretchen has figured out that she can help Kaitlyn do things, so she's started being more attentive. Sometimes it's really cute, sometimes it just makes Kaitlyn mad.

-Olivia likes to dance, so we signed her up for a dance class. It's a ballet/tap/creative movement combo class that starts in September.
The priest at our church is on sabbatical this summer, so we will be spending more weekends with Bryan's parents in order to attend church in Dayton on the Sundays that we don't have a priest.
Bryan and I got to go to a kid-free wedding last week. We enjoyed talking with adults and dancing without kids. Murry enjoyed having the girls to herself for two days. :)
I made a new skirt. It's knit, matches several of my shirts, and has an irregular hem and pockets. What more do I need? Thus far it is looking like a strong contender for my favorite skirt, which means I can probably cross that off my 30 Before 30 list.
We took a family vacation (also on my list!) to Dayton last week. We stayed in a hotel and ate at restaurants and visited a museum, a park, and a mall. It wasn't a big event, but we had a good time.
Since I've made progress on my list recently, there will be a bonus post this Wednesday listing the updates.
I found out that the Indianapolis Symphony has two viola openings. I have no hope of getting in, but I'm playing around with the idea of trying anyway. I suddenly have the desire to practice huge amounts. Related to these two things, I read a book a while ago that talked about how it takes 10,000 hours of good practice to master a skill (at "highest in the field" level). I counted how many hours I've practiced viola, and I think I have 1500 that qualify. If I start practicing an hour every day, I could be a master in 27 year. :-P If I practice two hours every day, I'll be fabulous by the time I'm 45. Mom said that's about when my kids will be grown up and I'll be looking for a way to keep busy anyway. :)
