Move over Beethoven....

* pause music on side bar to hear maddie play.

Tonight we attended Madalyns piano recital.

We sat there waiting for her turn to preform, and I thought how far we all have come.

Madalyn started piano lessons approximately 5 1/2 years ago. Starting with Keriann Barlow a friend from Medical school and at that time we were a family of 4.

Now as we wait we are chasing Finley around the studio, and Maverick is yelling out "Don't forget Maddie" which gets a chuckle out of the audience.

Now Maddie has burned thru 3 different instructors each encouraging her to continue on.

We have been to many recitals and listened to many piano practices, and she is

becoming quite the talented pianist. It has been fun to hear her progress from

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, to more advanced pieces that I won't attempt to spell the names.

Here comes Peter Cotton Tail...

Heavy Metal Bling

Today Maddie was adorned with some pricey Bling.
She is now officially wearing braces for the next two years.
The top braces were put on the front teeth and molars and she
will have aprx. 4 teeth in between pulled,
Then the bottom braces will be put on in a month and
she will also have about 3 teeth pulled from the lower jaw.
Beauty comes at a high price!
It will be worth it when they are removed and she will
feel like a Million bucks!
