1st Omer Talent Show

So, we tried it out.  Our first Omer Talent Show. Man, we have a lot of talent!  I have a bunch of videos of everyone, but until I get time to edit them down a little, I won't post them yet.  It was super fun!

Jacob and bunch of Omer grandchildren played the piano.  They all did such a fantastic job!

We had a few skits here and there.

Matt sang a gorgeous song for us!

Heather saved the day and played the piano to accompany Dave on his Clarinet.  He had been SO busy with his first semester of teaching and being in school on top of that, that he didn't have much time to even think about his talent. But they both did a fantastic job! Thank you Heather!

Jenny...just look at her!  She is the definition of talent! :)  Really- she made our matching family t-shirt design and she face painted all the grandkids faces!! Abby chose flowers below. Huge talent!

The Real Piano Deal

This was my 2nd official piano recital.  I played a solo, a Chopin piece, that was quite challenging.  I was 8 months pregnant and nervous as I could possibly get!  The room was full!  I messed up big time on my solo.  But my 2nd piece was a duet with Dave, and we rocked!  It was so good!  

Look at all these kids that played!  They did such a fabulous job! I am the only adult student right now...so the pressure seemed to be on! Our teacher, in the middle, is wonderful!  

Here my teacher is.  She is a good friend too.  I really look up to her and think the world of her!

My 1st Piano Recital

I so rarely post pics of myself, it's your lucky day!  :)  I've been taking piano lessons since January 2010...that's already a year and a half!  I took about 6 months or so of lessons from a friend during my college days (thank you Jenny!).  So I pretty much consider myself to be starting piano at age 30.  I think it's never too late...but I'm just so happy to be playing finally!  I've always wanted to take lessons.  The time is right for me and I have been loving it! 

This night I played from Clementi's Opus 36... Sonatina 5.  I was so very nervous, but it was a duet with Dave so it wasn't as bad.  I messed up a couple times, but really did pretty good for my first performance.

This is my teacher.  She is awesome!  And isn't her piano gorgeous!  Someday....

Here are the other kiddos that played that night at the recital.  

One of the mother's made these cute cupcakes!
