Singing B

Untitled from courtney bartz on Vimeo.



The hills are alive with the sound of music. With songs they have sung for a thousand years. The hills fill my heart with the sound of music. My heart wants to sing every song it hears. My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise from the lake to the trees. My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies from a church on a breeze. To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls overstones on its way. To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray. I go to the hills when my heart is lonely, I know I will hear what I've heard before. My heart will be blessed with the sound of music and I'll sing once more.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!
I was so excited to be a ladybug princess, thanks to Tenzy helping me with my great polkadot (pink, of course) ensemble. It was a great success! We even got to go to a haunted house and I saw a werewolf inside the maze. Creepy!

Congrats Chaddy and Ella

Uncle Chad and Auntie Ella got married on September 12. It was a lovely fall day to be a princess. People came from all over the country for this big celebration and I was lucky enough to throw flowers for Princess Ella. The camera ran out of batteries before the dance party, but you should have seen the entrance dance Ella and Chad did. I couldn't stay off the dance floor. Didn't mean to steal your thunder. Love you both.



Visit from the Lockharts

These beautiful boys came to Duluth to visit me and wow did I fall in love. They have the same energy level (or a little more) than I do but there are two of them. I'm very impressed by their parents, Dana and Walker, and their ability to keep up. Saturday they came to my house but Sunday we all went to Gooseberry. It was a gorgeous Labor Day weekend.
I couldn't tell the boys apart, so Dana offered a bit of advice. Oliver wears green and Finn is usually in blue.
