🎉CONGRATULATUONS Matt and Kari on their new bab 🎉CONGRATULATUONS Matt and Kari on their new baby boy, Theo Emile Landry! 👏

#repost 
・・・
Matt & I welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Theo Emile Landry, into the world 1 week ago today on May 2, 2023 at 1 pm. 💛

Theo was born at our house in Northville, MI, 🏡 and thanks to Celeste and the team at @gentlemamaholisticmidwifery, we had a beautiful and natural water birth in the heart of our home. At 8 lbs & 20” long, we’re overjoyed he’s so happy and healthy and that I had such a quick and smooth labor. 

Words can’t express the joy, love, and gratitude we feel for Theo and for going through this experience together. Birth is truly a portal to another world and I’ll never forget just how connected it made me feel to the universe and my baby boy. 

It’s also so surreal I was performing just 3 days before his birth with @akropolis5tet. I’m endlessly grateful I was able to keep doing so much right up to the finish line, and thankful to have this time at home over next few months with our new family. 

We love you so much, sweet Theo.❤️ Welcome to the world!
👏Such a memorable & meaningful experience with 👏Such a memorable & meaningful experience with @omarthomasmusic in Detroit @cass_tech @mlkbands @dsa_dpscd last week!

Thank you Omar for coming into the 3 Detroit High Schools we’ve been working in for the past 7 years to share you insanely talented musical voice and to inspire so many young artists to keep pursuing their musical passions. These public school programs are SO important, and your personal story connected with so many young people. They are still raving about you!!! 🔥🔥🔥

This year, Akropolis is working with a total of 21 students at these 3 schools to compose new reed quintet works. Hearing Omar’s brand new composition, “Moods and Attitudes” and having him share more about his compositional process was deeply inspiring for these students ( and us too!! ) 

A big thanks to @neaarts for supporting this commission and our educational efforts in Detroit, and to @yamahamusicusa for helping make Omar’s trip possible 🙏

🎼 Music in this video is from the 1st movement of Omar’s new #reedquintet, titled “Blues shuffle kerfuffle” performed live at @nolachamberfest @unosota.
