You can tell, from these pictures, that she absolutely LOVES it! :-) (The solemness of these pictures cracks me up!!) No, she says she does and she really likes her lessons, but getting used to practicing has been an entirely new thing for Anna to adjust to (and me, too, quite honestly!). She has just learned how to turn her "D" string into an "E" and an "F sharp", so she's playing "songs" now, which is making things much more interesting to Anna. Coming up is "Hot Cross Buns"--and Anna can hardly wait!
And, because many of you never get to see the wild and crazy side of Anna, here's a silly shot (with a nicely colored tongue thanks to orange kool-aid--wonder why she was so wired?!?):
In other news, we did get to go to Build a Bear with Grace on Friday (we're coming up on three weeks without the thumb!!). It was a BIG decision once we were there and she had to decide between all the bunnies, bears, dogs, cats, turtle, etc., but she finally chose the very cute cheetah. Her name is Lily (not to be confused with Anna's dog, Lilly (two Ls as opposed to one, just to keep them straight)) and she is fitting in nicely with the rest of the brood on Grace's bed. Grace doesn't even mention sucking her thumb anymore and really seems to have moved on. Truly a miracle!!

We can't wait to hear Hot Cross Buns!! Aiden wants to play cello, but they say his hands are too small :(. Maybe he'll start with violin too.
Hooray for Grace! I too was surprised how quickly Owen forgot about Bubby once he finally gave him up. I guess once they decide it's okay to let it go, it really is!
Clearly there's genius in the genes. Fortunately she has a gifted mother.
Pretty amazing that you could get such crisp photos with such slow shutter speeds inside. (I have an eye for these things.) You must have a new fancy lens. :-)
Anna, your grasp of the bow looks like you've played for awhile. It must be the ballet training carry-over. Roxanne says your finger tips will toughen up with practice. I bet you'll be playing Christmas carols by time I see you again.
