This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

Thankful for Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Break is here! We celebrated James' birthday on the 17th to kick it off. We'll be at the ranch outside of Blanco, TX on Thursday to celebrate Thanksgiving with James' extended family. On Friday, our good friends Danny and Jerry are getting married and on Saturday we will celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. There are so many things to be thankful for! Here are a few of them in pictures.

Awesome orchestra kiddos. Here is a bus selfie with the orchestra peeps that attended a youth concert at UT's Bass Concert Hall. Fifth House Ensemble gave a live performance of the soundtrack to the video game Journey, conducted by the composer, Austin Wintory. The game was projected on a screen and a gamer played as they performed. The musicians used iPads and foot pedals to turn the pages.

Family - Grandma and Grandpa at Kate and Tyson's wedding! What an amazing weekend. We're so blessed to have such an extraordinary example of unconditional love in Grandma and Grandpa. May Kate and Tyson find that theirs grows stronger and deeper with every passing minute.

Veggies from Johnson's Backyard Garden. We get a CSA box from them each week, so we were excited to attend their open house in late October where we got a tour of the farm on a flat bed pulled by a tractor. Our last CSA box had collared greens, spinach, cilantro, cabbage, broccoli, peppers, and beets. Yum!

Longhorn football - We've enjoyed cheering on the team this season! There have been a lot of close games.

Community performances. I took a small group to perform at Round Rock's Chalk Walk Festival. It's a fun community event in downtown Round Rock and the students had a blast!
