Viola

Jonah is now at the age where he is becoming eligible to do all sorts of activities - poor old Cara has just got to wait a little longer and she'll be able to do the same.

The two main stories are that Jonah has joined Beavers (like small scouts/cubs) and loves it very much. The other thing is that he's been accepted to learn the Viola and is very happy about the instrument he's been given to look after:

I've left the blog for a while so here's a quick catchup in very basic chronological order:

I think this may be a really old video, from about three montha ago, but it was a Youtube experiment, so I'm posting it up as a kind of experiment - and a memory of a foggy rib ride. Jonah is loving it in the passenger seat.
