First Day of School

C first day of school outfit! He had it ready for days!!!

Cousin SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to start 4th grade!!!

D shouting and excited that his bus driver was the same!!!

D and best cousin and aunt waiting for the bus to come on the first day! It was sunny!


The kids have started school. D is full time now and LOVES it! C went the first day to meet his teacher and actually doesn't really start until the 18th...which is weird, but anyway. I asked D what his favorite part of the day was and he said LUNCH! Then he explained to me how he got two cookies and Jacob got two cookies so they each kept one of their and then traded the other so they could each have one of each cookie. He said, "it was so cool mom!" Very funny and made me laugh...they are already learning the trading game!

Poor quality Piano Recital Pics...

So, the only camera we have is our video/still shot camera that is 7 years old, so the megapixel is i think a 1!!! So, bear with it, but at least we have something! ;(


I do a boardgame with the students. They get points for being ontime, bringing all of their books, excellent ratins and so on...but they also get moved back for tardiness, not bringing all materials, and just not showing up etc. So, it was a Tie. Maggie and Jesse tied for first place and are being awarded their "prize" baskets at the recital. Now the race is on again for the december recital!


I did a few duets with students, mostly on the same piano...but my niece and I tried one with two pianos and decided it was a lot of fun. She did great and she is so fun to play duets with!


I don't look too happy here, but the recital really did go well. Me just announcing the next students. ;)

C playing in his first recital!!! He was so nervous but did well! He loved the attention!

And this is D's 2nd recital. They are both doing well and could do alot better if mom spent more time with them. But I just get tired by the end of all my lessons. I am going to do better so they can progress, they both really want to, so i need to get on it!
