A fun movie from my birthday party on December 30.... Oh how we love Amelia's laughter~!   She is so energized by being with the ones she loves!    

Fresno City College Choir Concert on Friday, Dec 9, 2016

Here is "Hallelujah" from "A Soulful Celebration", accompanied by members of the music department.    A rousing rendition, to be sure!   We loved it!  

Ben and I enjoyed seeing Julia perform in her Choir Concert on Friday evening.   She played her Mazurka by Chopin as a solo to start the evening, and then two other students who studied privately also performed.  After that, the choirs sang lovely Christmas tunes.  Here is "Sleigh Ride".  

Julia Fall Piano recital at Fresno City College, December 2016 from Jane Jacobsen on Vimeo.

Here is Julia playing so beautifully at her recital on Tuesday evening, December 6, 2016. If only I had checked to make sure I had enough room on my camera card, you could see and hear the entire beautiful piece. Julia is so poised and controlled in her playing. Just lovely and so joyful!

Amelia is a cute little eater!

Fun on Saturday at our house with Amelia becoming a good eater!
