Ribbon Festival

Just before Thanksgiving Warren got the opportunity to perform with other Houston area Suzuki students (in his level) at Ribbon Festival. He has been learning songs with his left hand that he already knew with his right hand, to help improve his technique.

The judges take notes and critique technique and performance as he played. 

Warren is presented with his medal. ;) The judges were pleased with his great tone 

and dropping in while he played. 

He did great! It is fun to see his confidence grow. He was much more so than his first recital!  

Stow-A-Ways...

In November the boys and I decided to tag-a-long on a short business trip with Weston. He goes to court in Corpus Christi often and since I had never seen the "best beaches" this side of Texas, we decided to check it out. We had a fun little weekend. We hung out in the hotel and had so much fun relaxing on the beach. The boys ran races, found seashells, jelly-fish, a dead eel, a bunch of dead fish that looked like pirana (we google searched and found they are some time of snapper referred to as "pirana of the gulf") and lots of abandoned logs from beach fires. We also went on a long walk down the beach. The beaches and water were prettier than Galveston and the weather was perfect! We even saw several dolphins on the ferry ride on the way back home. We had such a fun time. We are excited to plan a longer trip there this year. Here are some pics for your enjoyment!
