UNDER CONSTRUCTION

On a regular basis I change things in order to update everyone, in addition to changing the background to fit the season (or my mood). If you visit the site often enough, you've probably noticed a lot of additional changes. SORRY!! I have been on a search for a better template and a more permanent background so I have more time to post. In all of the construction, comments were lost for awhile. I am happy to announce that you can again comment on our site. Please do! We love hearing from you! Additionally, I hope the site is a little more instructive to people who don't know us as well and more helpful in providing access to the resources our family uses in daily living. I hope you find it in the future to be more user friendly. In the meantime, thank you for your patience. HAPPY BLOGGING!!! ~A. Smith Family

Baby Prodigy

Okay, so maybe not a prodigy, but definitely a rising musician at only 10 months old. His first full composition is entitled Counting. Notice he plays a harmonic 2nd two times, then bangs a triplet (three), then plays four times, then (with mommy interupting), five times, consistently expanding the interval. Go ahead and count along with him!

It's fun just watching him experiment. He experiments with the pedals (with his hands). If there is music on the piano he will turn the pages and start playing, then stop and "switch to another song". He sings and dances while he plays. My favorite part is, if he knows I'm recording, he loves to come and watch the video. After it is over, he usually heads back to the piano to do try again. It's so rewarding watching our baby take such an interest in something we love so much!

This week - more food!

I keep my camera handy and try to grab pictures of whatever we are doing during the week. This week - more food! Maybe it's just easy to grab my camera, or it's my latest creative outlet, but it seems all we do is eat! Austin is also busy with his new calling and Amy is the stake musical (which is next week & FREE). But alas, here are some great pictures of some YUMMY chicken and dumplings (Austin was sick last Sunday)

and a fun video of Cadence "baking bread" with mommy.
