Recital

Tonight Savannah's viola teacher held a recital for all of her students. This is the first recital Savannah has ever been a part of since she only started taking private lessons in August. She was very nervous. :) (Once we got to the house, she refused to speak because she thought she would throw up.) She did a wonderful job though and was one of the best musicians of the night (and I am trying to be as objective as possible :)). The recital included music for piano, viola and violin (Savannah's teacher is quite talented).

Savannah's teacher accompanied Savannah on the piano, which was a new experience for Savannah as well.  We were supposed to get to the recital 1/2 hr early so Sandy and Savannah could play together at least once. We were a few minutes late, however, they still had plenty of time to run through the piece together once.

I thought it as a lot of fun to see Savannah completely in the spotlight for once. Kent III, didn't share the same enthusiasm though... he was so wiggly and kept asking when we were going to get to eat a cookie. The concert lasted only about an hour, but to him I am sure it was an eternity. :)

The recital was in a town at least 1/2 hr away from ours so we jumped in the van and were on our way as soon as Kent got home from work... but of course I forgot the cookies I was asked to bring so we had to turn around. Luckily we had only gotten about 4 blocks from our house before I realized it. And while I brought my camera to the recital, I left the memory card at home in the computer. I am making rookie mistake after rookie mistake! And I keep making the same ones and then stacking more on top of them! No memory card and I left the camera bag at home. *sigh* Where is my brain?! I think it left for Florida already... Thank heavens for camera phones. :) And we did at least remember the camcorder. :)

And once we got home, Savannah had to finish her science project, which took quite a long time. Sadly she didn't go to bed until after (way after) what would be considered a decent bedtime but was able to complete her project.
