Broken Stewart

Stewart with Gr. and Gr. at LVYO fall concert

I can't believe October is almost over. It is scary how fast time is going. This month has been so busy mainly with Stewart and his Orchestra career. This year he has decided to not only be in advanced orchestra but also play for chambers and Las Vegas Youth Orchestra. I am excited that he wants to be so involved but i also spend alot of time in my car between all the practices and concerts. This week everything came to a screeeching halt when stewart decided to break his hand. When i say decided i mean he had a choice whether or not to break it it. I guess the thing to do in the P.E. locker room is this game where you see how hard you can hit knuckles with other people. It sounds painfully stupid but they are 13 years old, long story short stewart's hand didn't hold up so good. We had an x-ray of it taken this week but it was to swollen to tell. The doctor thinks it may just be a hair line fracture but he still can't move it and they wrapped it all up so you can even see his fingers. Not good because now he can't play his cello and he has a concert today he will be missing, and it happens to be his right hand so doing school work has been difficult. I hope he has learned his lesson. On the good side of things his Orchestra teacher took all the advanced kids to see, Midori, out at Artemus Ham Hall. She is an awesome violinist who has been called one of the most important violinists of our time. It was an awesome concert!Mrs. Smith could only take 4 parents so she put all our names in a hat and mine was picked. How lucky was i! It was fun to go hang out with a bunch of 13 year olds. One girl asked me if i was stewart's sister. It was obviously dark outside but i told her she made my whole year.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF MIDORI
