At our school we had our annual winter concert. All the students participate, and after much rehearsal and practice, practice, practice the children did a beautiful job on stage.
For me the treasured part of the event was to play a piece with Sophia. She is eager to learn the recorder and practiced for weeks now without reminders but her own. It was a true joy to watch her practice so diligently and take performing so seriously. She even decided to wear her very special dress, which isn't really that comfortable, but for this occasion, only this dress would do!
It was also special to me for my parents to be there. Since they live in Germany it means even more for them to come. Our dear Papa Theodore was missing, since he is here in Australia, but I know he would have felt very happy and proud of Sophia!!!
Thank you Sophia for being the wonderful person you are and for playing music with me today. I hope we can do it again and again!
Love, Mama
ohhh wie schön!

Those are wonderful photos of you and Sophia! What a special moment! I can't believe Sophia is growing up so quickly :) Was it just yesterday when we were talking about how you potty-trained her? Oh my goodness...ha! Hope all is well up there. I am finishing finals this Wednesday. Call me whenever you have a free minute and/or I will call you.
