Baby Spurgeon's first symphony

On Saturday, after a delicious, enlarging dinner at Rattlesnake, Baby Spurgeon went to her first Detroit symphony: Disney in Concert. The performance opened with the musicians providing accompaniment to classic Disney movies, while clips played on a large screen above the stage. Then, four professional singers joined the DSO for vocal renditions of childhood favorites, including sing-a-longs to Mary Poppins and It's a Small World. I can say with confidence that after a six-month strike, the DSO is back and better than ever.



Before the show we were busy bees. At 25 weeks, 2 days, I played my first round of the season (and my first round pregnant). Not terrible.








And we did some in-person registering at Buy Buy Baby. The lady made a big deal about letting dad "operate the gun." Ummm, okay. (Almost done - just need to pick out a swing. Why-o-why are they all so U-G-L-Y?!)
