We went to a great fiddling contest this weekend. Anyone could enter, all ages and levels and it was awesome. There were two contest in one: Traditional Appalachian Folk and Nontraditional Appalachian Folk music. It started with a 6 year old playing 'Mary had a Little Lamb'. It was pretty cute. It quickly moved on to some pretty amazing artist. I have always loved string instruments and I think if I had to pick a new one right now it would have to be the fiddle. I have always loved the Cello, but the fiddle seems like a much more practical instrument to play. Mainly for its size and for living in the Appalachian Mountains.
Our home is becoming home once again. It is peaceful outside, stars and moon are bright, and the air is much warmer than usual for this time in the evening. I am looking forward to camp cleaning out and getting back to working on the Farmhouse.
On other news, tomorrow is our halfway mark in this whole 40 week pregnancy thing we got going on. The baby is now (of course this is an estimation I give every week) the size of a banana. We like bananas:) 10 1/2 inches long from head to feet! WOW! I also read I will start gaining a pound a week roughly. That sounds exciting! Oh, and I got the best night sleep last night. I haven't slept that good and hard since the beginning of June. I still woke up twice to pee, but that was it! No tossing and turning. I could breath through my nose which I haven't been able to do for some time now. It was awesome. It made today very vibrant! Good night to all!
This is Addair who is 14 and friends of ours here at camp.
She won the Nontraditional Style. She is incredibly talented.
Actually, the whole family is.
This is who won the Traditional Style.
This was the 6 year old. Too cute!
