First Blog Entry

Well here goes nothing. Thanks Leah for helping me get started. I have been wanting to create a blog/journal for some time, but just have not had the guts.

Beautiful Beach Days

Grant in the big hole at Stinson Beach. It was nice to finally see him touch the sand, although it took all day.

Easter 2009

Easter was really fun this year. After church we hunted eggs at our house then over to Bruce and Kathy's for another hunt and dinner. Abby helped with Grant's search, but after about two minutes Grant really got into the hunt and was on his own. He definitely did not want the easy ones and truly searched as high as he could go for those eggs. It was such a great day!!

Spring Recital 2009

I love this picture with Claire. She was so proud of herself at her first recital. These moments make all the work worth every minute.

Claire and her friend Alex at the piano. Alex was very nervous for her first recital so Claire and her played a duet together and did a wonderful job.
Here I am with my students at our second piano recital. When I hear my students play I truly can not believe how much they have grown. I will truly miss two of my students who are moving away. I get very emotional and have a hard time telling my students how proud I am of them. They all did a great job!!!!
