Happy Father's Day (A little late)

To the best daddy we could have ever asked for.  If there was ever a dad meant to have four girls, well. . . really five (I probably add to the girl drama in the house from time to time), it was you!  We love you to the moon and back.



Piano Recital

Savannah and Lila had a piano recital at the end of the school year.  Lila had only been playing for a few months and was very excited.  Savannah was equally excited as she decided to tackle Fur Elise!

Lila did great!  Her song was well above her level but she didn't shy away from it.  She memorized it bit by bit and got it down.  I was very proud of her.  She was such a mature little girl!
Savannah had spent months on her song.  She knew it front to back, back to front.  Savannah was more than ready for her recital.  Sadly, it was one of those days.  She just got stuck.  Really stuck.  I could physically feel my heart breaking into pieces as she kept trying to dig herself out.  I was so disappointed for her.  I have heard her play this song flawlessly so many times that I am sick of Fur Elise.  It just wasn't meant to be.  I was proud that she held her head high and gave it her all even though the song was choppy.  She smiled and bowed like she was pleased.  However, she was a fountain of tears the minute we left.  Savannah wanted a re-do and sometimes life doesn't have one to offer.
