Watching the birds out the window.

A close-up of those flowers Paul surprised me with after I returned from my conference. I've been enjoying the scent of this bouquet ever since!

I had a great time at the OMTA conference this weekend, but it always feels good to be home. :)

This is what I came home to after the conference. What a husband I have!

It was a pleasure to speak at the Ohio Music Teachers Association's state conference today! Having a wonderful time connecting and reconnecting with teachers.

Another surprise from a student -- a macaroon! I've always wanted to try one. It was good!

A present from a student yesterday. :)

I realized yesterday that December will be 6 years since Paul gave me a DSLR camera as a gift. It's been fun reading about and dabbling in photography as a hobby ever since. Only recently have I started to feel like I can consistently take photographs that I love. It's easy to be self-critical from the technical aspect. I truly love this photograph of my brother-in-law and his little family. I'm glad when family members agree to be my Guinea pigs. ;)

Took family photos with Paul's side of the family today. This photo of my nephew was my favorite from the day. :)

Group class with my piano students today. We had a bit of fun with the rhythm cup activity. ;)
