Brandi Carlile and Maxwell Smart

The big news is that Max is home. There are a few more pics in his photo album and here are some videos. He is a very sweet boy and is adjusting well to his new home.

In watching these videos, I realized that we whisper while filming. I'm not sure why...



The reindeer was a parting present from Judy, the breeder.



In other news, Saturday night we got to see Brandi Carlile perform with the Seattle symphony. It was just amazing. Part of it was just her and the Hanseroth twins and they did one song with no amplification. Now, keep in mind - this was in Beneroya Hall which seats about 25oo people. We were in the back (the concert sold out almost immediately). It was so amazing to hear them with no electrons in between her and my ears- and talk about lungs! The orchestral arrangements for her songs were fabulous and the encore was Cohen's Hallelujah which I LOVE. Words just can't describe how amazing it was to hear her belting out Hallelujahes with the symphony backing her up. The good news for all you people that missed out on this amazing concert - it was recorded. When it comes out on CD you should all rush, rush, rush out and buy it because not only was Brandi amazing, but you will also get to hear me. Yes, that's right - it was also my debut. You see, she had the audience sing along on part of a song and I'm sure you will be able to pick my voice out.

Mama, Christy and her friend Sarah came out for Thanksgiving. It was great to see them. I'll post some pics from that soon. I hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving.
