Piano Recital: Awards and Photos

By Melissa Markham on May 17, 2008 6:43 PM | Permalink | Comments (7) | TrackBacks (0)

Last night the children participated in their end of the year piano recital. It is a big deal and we were there for about two hours. I am disappointed because while there, my digital camera slid off of my lap and the batteries popped out. I put them in and took several photos. What I didn't realize is the memory card popped out, so they were taken on the internal memory of the camera. So I have a few pictures (all of Katrina), and the ones of Jack are trapped on my camera. I tried to download and install the driver today, but was unsuccessful. I will try again so you can see the rest of the pictures.

Before we left, my neighbor was visiting and she did a wonderful job with Katrina's hair.

Here she is from the front. And if you look closely, you will see Jack at the piano practicing and talking with their music teacher, Mrs. Booth.

And here's Katrina during the recital.

And for the last photo, we have roses that her brother Bruce and his friend, Ryan gave her following the recital (along with candy for her and candy for Jack). It was her first dozen roses she has ever received. I am sure she will remember it forever.

And here is the list of awards they each earned last night:

Katrina:(this is her first year)

She is a cutie! Her hair is beautiful. The dress is really pretty on her. They both must be talented. I sing; but other than that, not much musical ability in this home. Cindi
