Our young pianist

***I wrote this post about a week ago, but never got a chance to post it. I am struggling right now to move on from what happened and actually start living and planning life again. I do not understand this feeling, but I feel very guilty for even thinking about fun things, planning any trips or events. We have to be soaking in one day at a time….I decided to go ahead and post this entry…in the midst of all that’s happening:)***
Katya is a girl with many talents:) We all know about her athletic abilities (Hello, Striped Ape! but that’s another story), about her fantastic spelling and reading achievements, and about her dancing abilities, comparable to Robert himself. Piano is one of her “aces”, so to say, to pull out in front of Alex and show off (in a good way, most of the time).
Katya’s winter recital was held on February 27th, at Mokuteki Ballroom. Ms. Bridget, who just had a baby 3 months before then, had a dozen students who performed.  Katya and I printed out special invitations to give out to some of her friends. She even gave one to her teacher, Ms. Smith and to the principal, Mr. Sterry:)
Katya played two pieces. She had to memorize one of them. I think one of the good qualities that Katya inherited from both Robert and me (I know! I am sooo humble!) is the ability to focus and not be afraid of the stage. (We won’t start listing here all the chances that Robert and I had in our childhood to perform…hahahaha) Anyway, Katya holds herself great on stage and does her best.
Great job, sweetie! We are all very proud of you:)

Alex wanted to look “extra fancy”, meaning he wanted to wear a belt and a tie.
