Eight Is Great!

These are LittleMan's eight month pics. Here he is looking sophisticated in a turtleneck sweater.Right after this picture Zach took a nose-dive right onto the floor! Next month someone remind me to glue him to the piano.

This performance has been on my mind all day. It is a joy to watch! John Williams wrote this beautiful arrangement of an already beautiful song: Simple Gifts. Did you notice how everyone in the audience at the Obama inauguration was bundled up and FREEZING? Imagine how these musicians felt trying to get their frozen fingers to work. Did you check out the pianist? She is performing in MITTENS! That is nuts!! I've tried before...It's impossible. SO...I officialy have a new favorite pianist. And her name is Gabriela Montero. And she plays the piano in mittens. She is also wearing a cool dress. Plus, check out Yo-Yo Ma's face. He looks so HAPPY. Itzhak Perlman--you may be aging, but I still love you!

VEGAS, BABY! *Kate took this AWESOME picture of the disco-ball horse in the Bellagio lobby. It's called: "Mommy, why is the horse trying to bite its knee?"
