Weekend Update

This weekend was a little busier than usual because Grant was in Hawaii, so I got to run the kids around to all their various places.  Highlights include

Violin Concert: In which Maile played with only a few tears beforehand.  At the end, all of the high school and middle school kids joined together to play some final songs.  Though Kea didn't know any of the songs, she thought she would join in . . . without her violin.  So here she is just sitting randomly among the group.

Haircuts: For all three of us.

Soccer Game: In which Kea's team beat an all boys team.  Three boys went off the field crying at various times due to injuries inflicted by her team, but only one of them was caused by Kea.  She absolutely flattened him to the ground.

Narnia movie: In which I got seasick because it was in 3-D and mostly on water.  Maile was sobbing at the end because she thought it was so sad.  Fortunately she had my sleeve to use as a tissue.

TV watching:  Started watching re-runs of Veronica Mars.  Veronica, where have you been my whole life?

And finally, dinner at my parents house with cute nephews and nieces.

Anyway, for all you writers, on Thursday, December 16 at 9:00 p.m. EST (7:00 p.m. MST), I will be doing an interview with my critique group, The SIX.  We'll be discussing writing groups and how to break into publishing.  I probably won't say anything profound, but you can gain infinite wisdom from the rest of the group.  This is all part of David Farland's Authors' Advisory Conference Calls.
