On the road to Disney!

On the road to Disney! John had a business trip to Orlando the last week of July. We decided as a family to tag along. He had two days of meetings so we took two days of fun to go along. As you can see from this picture the girls are pretty excited about the journey! We started our journey off and off to our left was this awesome rainbow that Caroline happened to capture.

Piano Recital 12 08

Ever wonder how to keep a 5 year old BOY entertained during a piano recital?? Bring along one Grandma DaDa!! Sorry Donna for the post but I had to share the fun! I didn't even realize this was happening as I was peaceful sitting in front of them rocking Andrew! So I was surprised to find the pictures when I downloaded them.

Caroline and Julia have an AWESOME music teacher. She has received all kind of district and state wide recognition for her efforts. She has a piano lab in her room with 20 pianos, has 20 or so violins, chimes, and quite a few guitars. She teaches these instruments to the students during the day. However, after school she stays a few days of the week until 5 teaching piano lessons. The lessons are at cost but any of the money that she receives for the lessons, she puts back into the program ... paying for the violins, pianos etc...she does not pocket the money for herself.

The girls have taken lessons for the past year and a half. The girls have loved it and continue to progress nicely. Hopefully, Sterling will join them....however, from this picture, Ms. Downs may say NO! :)
