Happy holidays everyone! I hope you all are enjoying the Year's End Festival as much as we are. :)
2010 was a great year indeed. Lots of good things happened. During the summer, we moved into our brand new house located in a brand new subdivision in the very north part of town. We all love our new house and it did not take long before it truly felt like home. It's still a duplex and both sides were made to our liking. The thing we enjoy most about it is our huge living room perfect for hosting all kinds of parties. :) There is room enough for indoor and outdoor concerts as well and it's been magically perfect for us to perform. We definitely look forward to many wonderful years in this house, that's for sure!
Lesko: I recently finished the fall semester of my junior year. Only three more to go! I am right on track with my double degrees and this spring I have my junior recital to look forward to. Eek! That will happen in early March and I am busy getting things all ready for it. I am still progressing towards my future career as a sound technician which is going great! I have lots to do at work and enjoy every minute. These guys are so great to work with! As for my health things are moving along. I just finished a 3 day study and I have to say I am sooooo glad that's over! I feel much better and am ready to keep chugging along. I'm getting ready to celebrate my 21st birthday and of course getting ready to welcome our 2nd child due in mid-January. :)
Avicile: Hi there! This year has been amazing, as I have plunged into my own adventures of motherhood. Our baby boy Sterling was born on New Year's Eve, just sliding into 2009 before the moon signified the new year. Silly boy! I have been taking a class or two each semester to get a break from being home and have met many wonderful friends in the band world who also have young children. This group was formed by Joseph Ambrose Cook a few years ago when he came here and is called Club Spicy. Lots of my fellow bandmates are now members of this group and we do things like group babysitting and trade-offs so that we can attend some class. I've been enjoying raising our little boy and look forward to all the fun and stories that will form in 2011 with the addition of our little girl in mid-January!
Sterling: Our little boy turns one year old in 6 days! He totally surprised us all by deciding to slide into the last day of 2009, earning him the nickname "Early Sterling." He is proving to continue the trend of being on the early side, with waking up early but reliably at about 6 each morning, having words for us already, and he took his first steps yesterday!! He is very tall for his age and is still proving to look much like his daddy. :) One of the only differences is his full head of black hair like his mommy! He has been relatively healthy with just one bad cold and is so mellow- rarely fussy and pretty quiet, although he has certainly discovered his voice! :P We hope that he will fill his role as the oldest with honor and that he and his little sister will share many fond moments.
The Little One: Only about 3 weeks to go until she is here! Everything looks good and she has been kicking me nonstop! It's getting hard to move around but I am loving wearing Lesko's huge sweatshirts. Roll on, January! Teehee!
Eric: Hello everyone! I've been quite well this year and have been ever working towards graduation as well. One of the highlights of the year was getting hired as a sub-manager for musical events at Kennywood Playground. My boss is Joseph Ambrose Cook! How great is that, to work under a good friend! My job is to take down the names of groups that want to schedule time to play and edit and submit this to Joseph Ambrose. I also, on occasion, get to perform in the park which I love too. I also can't wait until ILEN get s to start performing in the park! As for school, I too am working on my junior recital, like another half of the band. :o Mine is going to be almost right away come February and I am so ready to tackle this. Other than school Rebecca and I have been having a great time as husband and wife and love our new house so much! No kids yet but we are already getting things ready because we are definitely planning to adopt as well as having homegrown kids. ;)
Rebecca: Ah yes, 2010 was a great year! There's nothing I love more than being with my amazing family and playing great music! I too have been hard at work preparing for my own junior recital. Sheesh! Three trumpets at least! Once I have this out of the way I can begin my senior year and then Eric and I will begin cultivating a family of our own. ;) I am still totally loving taking care of Sterling and am eagerly awaiting his little sister. ;) My huge family is doing well too and I have enjoyed spending time with them as well as my birth parents and little brother. As for my health I've been great, with no issues to report! I am still working at KP as a ticket person and enjoy that, although I am totally auditioning as a musician for parades and shows this summer! I look forward to warm weather and, before that, a trip with Eric to Taigana on the 10th for a week to see my sister and her husband. It should be fun!
Well, that wraps things up! I'll be back to report on all events happening soon! We love you all!
Love,
Lesko, Avicile, Sterling, Miss Diamond, Eric, and Rebecca
