Exciting times for Jackson...

Ok, no photography is allowed, but another choir mom snuck this photo last night.  The Central Arkansas Children's Choir is on the right with the white shirts and red cumberbunds and bow ties.  Our little Jackson, the youngest singer in the choir, is all the way on the end of the front row, next to the Christmas tree.  They had their first of 3 holiday performances last night at Robinson Center Music Hall in Little Rock with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, and the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff chorus on the left.  Pete drew the straw for last night's chaperoning, I have tonight's, and we are all going on Sunday with some friends.  What a great experience for Jack - so proud of him, and it is so fun to watch him take it so seriously, but have a great time doing it!
What a blessing to see your kids do what they love to do!
Merry Christmas...DK

Now THAT'S how it's done, ladies and gentlemen...

Beautiful Houston, AR.  See the camper?  Barely.  See any deer?  Neither did they.

Proud of Jackson Frederick Karl! October recipient of the Character Kid award at Woodrow Cummins Elementary, as voted on by the teachers, for Responsibility.

Randomness

 Life is crazy busy, our new Team Karl motto. 

 Gray is focusing on pastels right now in art.  I think she really likes using this medium. 

 Pete's post-elk-trip beard...glad that is gone. 

 Gray's entry into the Faulkner County Fair.  First place in Youth Graphite, favorite part = $3.00 check.

 Recent graduates of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Hunter's Education course for 2012.  Both passed their written exam with flying colors.
