Tending fun kids and Jonathan's last performance in Jazz Choir

I've spent the last 2 days tending these cute Learys. I have really enjoyed getting to know them. I brought them home last night so I'd be here for 11 year old scouts to meet, fed them dinner, then went back to their place for the night. Okay, this is the last performance of the last concert of the year for Jonathan's Jazz Choir and my memory card was pretty much full as soon as it started, but I didn't feel too bad cause Jonathan was right in front of the choir director and couldn't be seen anyway. You can find Alex on the front row (Jonathan was a couple over from him) and Jazmine and Sara from the ward in there. BTW I sat with the McCurdys. Erin is home from her mission, as of last night at 7:00! It was great to see her! Of course I wasn't smart enough to get a picture of her!
