  • Free ice cream, soccer, life, videos, and more…

    Spring time is here!  And just when spring arrived, we got more cold weather.    However, the trees around us ARE blooming and we are seeing flowers pop up.

    Free ice cream!

    It was pajama day at Bruster’s a couple weeks ago.  If you wore PJs (even just PJ pants), you got a free waffle cone!  Woohoo!!  We were crazy and went to two Bruster’s in a row.  Talk about feeling sick afterwards.

    The “to do list” board that the girls check off every day.  Jen usually updates it.

    One of my sweet piano students is also in the Good News Club that I teach on Tuesdays at her school.  She wanted to match at her lesson last week, so we did.

    Retirement Home

    I brought some students to a retirement home and we played piano, cello, and piano for the residents.  They loved it!  We got to visit with Nana Pat and Miss Martha afterwards.

    BABY!

    Christina’s baby shower for Evangeline Marie (Evie) was so much fun!  We’re so happy for Christina and Nick.  Baby Evie is so precious!  Christina is our friend and boss, so we and the other teachers at the music school have been teaching her students and keeping the school going.

    SPEAKING of the music school, here are some pictures of where Jen and I work.

    A student’s mom made the music wreath for me.  Isn’t it amazing??

    The violin/other piano room and the guitar/cello room.  We literally play Musical Rooms because there are seven teachers and only four rooms.

    The kitchen/teacher’s lounge

    This is where the families wait during lessons.  In the corner, several people have their own businesses and sell their products.  Pretty cool!  Then we have our board with announcements, students of the month, concerts, sign ups, etc.
