7 MoNthS & CuTeR ThAn EvEr!!

Our little guy is 7 months old today, and as fun and cute as is humanly possible! He is a fast little crawler; we call him sidewinder because one side is stronger than the other so he goes in a straight, but kinda sideways line, it's pretty funny. He climbs up on everything now and would much rather stand than anything else. He wishes he could walk already & when we help him walk, it's on his tippy toes. He loves his baby food and it shows since he is growing like a little weed! His favorite toy currently is the doorstop behind our guest bathroom. He'll find his way there from anywhere in the house. He still smiles all the time and can cheer up even the grouchiest of people with his bright blue eyes and big grin! He makes waking up everyday exciting and experiencing life so fun! We consider ourselves the luckiest family in the world to have him!

New School Year...New Piano Schedule!

It's funny how much the school year affects everyone...even those of us that don't have children old enough to be in school. Heavier traffic in the mornings and afternoons; grocery stores busier right after school starts in the morning and right before it ends in the afternoon (don't wanna shop with all the kiddo's...I know that'll be me before too long!) One more twist a new school year throws in for me is a new piano schedule! It seems like I just figured out my summer schedule and now here we are doing one for fall/spring. I have to admit it is a little tiring and stressful, but once it's done and I can get to the teaching I love it! As if teaching itself isn't enough, I am doing Piano Olympics with my students. It is super fun, but LOTS of work for me! Hopefully my Olympians have a good medal count come Halloween recital! (Speaking of Olympics...this Friday!!!! YEAH!) I have right around 25 students that I love to death, but situating things to be convenient for them and myself is a challenge at times. I think I've almost got it all done, so now my own personal celebration begins! We start our new schedule tomorrow and I can't wait!
