Time For Three Weekend

We had an eventful weekend. On Friday, Rinar's parents and sister came down to our house. Rinar's parents went with us and Raef and Zach to see one of our favorite groups, Time for Three. They are a dynamic "classically trained garage band" if you will: two violins and a double bass. It is tons of fun to watch them perform and I was certain that the boys would love it. They totally did. They were laughing and enraptured in the stellar performance. Rinar's parents also enjoyed the concert and it was fun to be able to share this with them.

Julia really liked the feel of Grandpa's beard.

While we went to the concert, Aislinn and Dustin babysat the little ones for us, which was so kind of them. Aislinn brought down her kids and they were able to spend time together with the cousins. It is always fun to play with cousins. Jayde was the best babysitter of all.

All she wanted to do the entire time was hold the babies. She would carry them around with her. When she got tired, she would put them down. But that never lasted long. It was quite sweet. She is obviously a little mama.

We had Raef and Zach do a little concert for the family with their latest piece. Zach is playing a Seitz concerto for everyone.



Rinar also had a surprise for his mom. He had been practicing a special piano duet to play with here. You see, Rinar's parents both served an LDS mission in Denmark. That is where the met. More specifically, Rinar's mom was asked to play a piano piece entitled "Canadian Capers". It is quite difficult and she was trying to find someone else who could play it with her. Yep, you guessed it. Rinar's dad was the man for the job. That is how they met. They still play it together all the time. Well, Rinar was at their house a few months ago, and found the music. It was deteriorating, so he got it recopied and found the official cover picture. Then he practiced it so that he could play it with her. Here you go.

There are two versions. The first one has video of my kids and an interruption with Eli. You see, Eli really likes to play the piano. Ever since then, he is quite a little pest. But it is cute.



The second video has it without any major interruptions.



Enjoy.



My kids also got a hold of the camera. They thought it was hilarious to dress Julia and Harry up in a silly hat. It is kind of cute.
