Update #2

Big Al is in 5th grade and is having a very musical year. She is in the 5thgrade chorus which requires her to give up one recess. She already has music twice a week and one of those classes is with the recorder. On Fridays she has her drum lessons for 5th grade band. She is learning to play the bells right now and will start with the snare drum in January. Again she has to give up a recess. She is also continuing with her piano lessons that she started this summer. Her piano teacher says she has great potential.

Allie also is a member of science club and is playing soccer. She is one busy young lady! Allie complains that she has too much to do but soccer ends next Saturday and piano is only a half hour a week. I said she still has plenty of time to play outside.
