Both kids participated in a Sonatina Festival at a local college and earned Superior Performance awards and got a trophy to add to their collection of other piano trophies.
Mario Fan also attended the symphony performance of Sleeping Beauty for his music appreciation class.

| We got there in time to here the lecture about the composers and every time we have gone to a morning performance they have krispy kreme doughnuts for free:) |

Firedrake had her first minor fender bender this past weekend, luckily she is fine and it resulted in a couple of minor scratches on the car. The other person car has some minor damage but also not injured, which is the most important thing. Thankfully the lady that she bumped into was very kind and didn't yell at her. The minute she got home though she cried her eyes out for a few minutes before realizing it wasn't the end of the world. Both her Dad and I remained very calm and matter of fact about the whole thing so that helped her settle down. The next day my husband was at work and told some colleagues about Firedrake's first car accident and he heard horror stories of their children. One colleague's son totaled 3 cars within the first year of driving, when my husband told my daughter that story she felt much better about her minor accident.
I finally got 2 of my stain glass bird branches up in the window. I still have two more to assemble and get up on the other window. I just need to find the time:)
