This sweet girl makes me endless cards and notes.  She will occasionally attach candy to the card and hand them to me throughout the day.  I just adore her way of telling me she loves me!

 A quick warm-up in  the ZMS homeroom at Avon high school



 Performing "Ode to Joy" with Mrs. Weirich her accompanist.  

 Isabelle was so nervous but did a great job with a strong finish for her first solo.
A picture of me performing at a contest similar to this when I was 12 years old.  :)
 A "G" for gold!  Way to go Isabelle!
 The medal she received...

 Saturday morning we travelled to Avon High School for Isabelle to participate with hundreds of kids all around at the ISSMA Solo and Ensemble competition.  The Sofianos family joined us to watch her perform and we went out to eat at Emmy's pancake restaurant after.  We are so proud of all of the effort and time she put into practicing.

I have reclaimed many areas of the house including our living room and basement from toys but encouraged Isabelle to bring down the Barbies after homework and obligations to play with Juliette.  They had so much fun together and their conversations between Barbies was absolutely hilarious.  Juliette doesn't mind being photographed at all but hides when she sees me taking a video.  She screams, "delete it!!!!"

3 princesses ready for the ball!  On Saturday evening they all got to attend their first daddy-daughter dance being held at the Village Dance Studio where they take classes.  They all had so much fun at the Cinderella ball.  They went out to eat before and squealed as they drove out in their Dad's fun car!

Isabelle has been working hard on her trumpet solo for the ISSMA contest in February.  She loves to play and has made such amazing strides in her sound since joining the band in August.

And on the 101st day of school, Juliette was sick with a fever and stomach bug...
