It has been quite the week.
Maya spent lots of time at Boom's house because G-ma is on business in...Africa!
The girls had a movie and mac and cheese night.
Pa and Auntie Cat came over for pizza and playing.
I got some good gratitude reminders.
And the biggest event of the week happened on Wednesday night. My mom, sisters and I went to the Minnesota Orchestra's annual meeting, because of an announcement that was going to be made. The details of the announcement can be found right here. But to sum it up, the Musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra, a group founded during the lockout, donated $250,000 to the orchestra. IN MEMORY OF MY DAD. The money established a "Bellwether Fund," that will work to support music education and community programming.
The musician who made the announcement, Kate Nettleman, invited my mom and sisters and I to come to the meeting. She was beyond sweet and talked to us personally about how much she and the other musicians loved and respected my dad. Overall, it was a really good (and hard) evening.
The Star Tribune also covered the story, which can be found by clicking right here. (Crazy side note: the Star Trib reporter who covered the lock out, talked with my dad a lot about the lock out and subsequent orchestra recovery, and wrote this article also happens to be my lifelong friend Emily's dad. Small world!)
So there you have it. Another week of down and we are now in December.
