On Sunday, January 20, 2019, we took a break from our wood flooring project of the previous three days for Noah's Suzuki piano recital. Noah and Evie have been playing piano with Miss Kathy since the summer of 2014. I cannot believe it's been nearly five years! Mind blown.
Anyway, she does Suzuki music with them, which basically means they learn more advanced music than they can read, and they learn it by ear. They also memorize it. All of it. In September of 2016 Noah completed and performed his first Suzuki book (Oh my word, those pictures). And on this day, we finally got around to his second book performance.
He memorized and performed 13 songs! It took him about 20 minutes to get through all of them.
We invited Amanda and her crew over to listen. They were particularly interested since Abigail and Julia also play with Miss Kathy. My and Terry's parents came over too. 👍 Only notice how the girls are seated on all the remaining wood flooring boxes, ha ha.
A small sample.
Miss Kathy had shown me the gift that she had made for him a couple weeks before and all of the sudden I was a lot more motivated to make the recital happen (was supposed to do it over Christmas but forgot amidst all the chaos). Notice the card...a Star Wars TIE Fighter...
She sewed him a Star Wars duffel bag! She used RCC colors and figured he could use it for track and cross country. How perfect is that?! 💙 There's that same Star Wars fabric on the inside.
I made all of Noah's favorite snacks (brickle bites and puppy chow) and everyone stayed to hang out and chat for a while afterwards.
Noah, Abigail, Julia, and Samuel on the old carpeted stairs. Don't they look terrible? The stairs, not the kids. The kids look great. The following week we began completing those stairs in new wood flooring.
See?
The guys in the empty but beautiful new floored living room.
Once everyone left, the kids went to play their weekend video game quota and we hung out upstairs enjoying the fruit of our labors.
Terry did Luna's tricks with her. Here's Play Dead.
She'll also keep a treat on her nose until we give her permission to eat it. This time she launched it off her nose. You can see it flying away, left of her ears. 😂
She can also catch snacks thrown at her, unlike some of those broken dogs who can't. Ha! You can see the snack just about to go into her mouth. 😹
