December meant AAALLLLLLL of the concerts. Holy smokes! Choir concerts-
Orchestra concerts-
and dinner dates after orchestra practice.
Orchestra concerts!
Band practices
and band concerts!
Leah's first concert of her senior year!
Noah invited Emma to his bring a friend night at the DSM Youth Symphony! Emma loved playing with his talented group, saw lots of friends there, and ultimately decided that she would rather spend her extra time working on her singing and acting skills.
Emma upgraded to a beautiful full-sized cello!
Just in time for her first junior high orchestra concert.
Jazz band concerts
Leah's amazing Drake University Honor Orchestra concert!
Noah's school orchestra concert
And show choir! Which, for Adam, means both synthesizer playing for the varsity ensemble,
Ahh, the turtleneck and chains...
and performing for the junior varsity ensemble. Show choir is such a Midwest thing, but I can't deny the joy that it brings to so many performers, including my kids. And they work so, so hard.
Look at this dapper young man!
Jazz choir is a fun first for Adam this year, too!
These kids are so talented and so brave!
And if that doesn't sound like enough, Adam had one of the lead roles in the one act winter play as well. Sadly, he died in this one too.
And in non-performing arts news, Noah and Emma have been participating in archery this winter.
The robotics season is nearly wrapped up. Leah is working hard on the music for her senior recital, occasionally attending greenhouse club and lumberjack (pancake eating) club, and has finally started working at the RecPlex.
Emma's show choir is in full swing, and she is working on the dramatizers spring performance. 
And fellow Uber Driver Dad E. and I are just trying to watch performances and get everyone where they need to be as much as we possibly can!
