Old news, but better than bad news

OK--my friend Betsy (who has more brain cells than I do because her kids are younger then mine) remembered that I already posted about my swap. Duh! I guess I'm trying to compensate for all the stress in my life right now by doing a mundane thing like blogging. Yep, it's pretty mundane when it's a repeat.

The Christmas piano recital was today, and once again, the girls showed their talents! They tied for first place and received trophies to add to their collection.

Amy and Sarah want me to tell you that they each have 4 trophies now.

Here they are with their piano teacher, Ms. Dena.
