It’s about time!

For those of you who have been faithful to check my blog, I thank you.  It has been way too long since I posted something other than rehxzearsal recordings!!!  It has been a wonderful time in the Nagy household.  Our newest family member was born on January 18.  She was one of 12 Golden Retriever puppies born.  We knew from the start that she would fit in!  Annabel came to join us on March 21.  She and Lance have become great companions and are inseparable.  They even share a kennel!!

She started out MUCH smaller, but has grown, QUICKLY!

The spring is always a crazy time for our family with PMEA choral festivals, concerts, etc.  2010 was no exception.  Kyrah did extremely well at festivals this year.  She qualified for PMEA All-State Chorus!  All of the festivals from Districts on through Regionals and States were exceptional.  Great conductors and great music!

Kyrah, myself, Brynne and Wendy at Regional Chorus in Somerset.

 

Mariah Seymour, Kyrah Nagy and Josh Duman were Central Cambria’s representatives to All-State Chorus this year!

In May, Paul Seymour and I organized a benefit concert to raise money for a new grand piano for the school district.  This concert, “Music on a Grand Scale” involved 700+ students!  It was a tremendous evening and the kids were awesome!

The elementary students!

700 Students....what were we thinking?

On went the spring semester, including prom, songfest, spring concerts, etc.

Three of my favorite people are graduating this year, Mariah Seymour, Josh Duman and AJ Pagano. Happy for them, sad for me.

This past weekend, I participated in a wonderful painting seminar at Paul and Cathy’s shop.  We were learning  Mosaic Florals.  We had a great time!

The first step in “Mosaic Floral” painting is the white underpainting. I think it looks good just like this!

Cathy enjoys a moment with others in the seminar.

Paul, hard at work!

Two of the smaller pieces that will be part of a "dresser set."

Another great surprise was getting to meet my long distance facebook friend, Georgia Dawbon.  Georgia is also a decorative painter from Barrie, Ontario, Canada.  She was in town to visit Paul and Cathy, and Paul Georgia and I were able to meet for dinner.  It is always great to meet people that I feel like I have known for years!!

When I complete the dresser set, I will post pictures on here.  As always thanks for viewing!!!!
