It may be a little tight but we still manage to get some good practices in while we’re camping – especially now that we know that he made the top ten!

I had Charlie all worked up on Thursday telling him that he would soon be in his group violin class with his new friends. When we got there I found out that I would be in parent classes for the first month, so Charlie has to wait a few weeks to start his group. This was disappointing [...]
