A Little Piano Recital and Thanksgiving

Maren's thriving piano school came to a grand crescendo in fall 2010, with about twenty students coming for weekly lessons.  She initially expressed trepidation to Brad when she considered teaching piano lessons for the first time many years ago.  She has made great progress personally in her playing abilities in the years since then, becoming quite adept at teaching and showing an artful ability to tailor her instruction to the needs of each student.  She has only a few students now, demonstrating her powerful commitment to be home for Callum most of the time.  We have always made it our goal to have Maren be a full-time mother, and she has unfailingly stood firm in devoting all of her attention to Mr. C.  Can you tell that I love her?  We had our piano recital for her small group at home this time, and enjoyed the party afterward with Callum still in his kilt!

Dad had to get these last year due to his gift of speaking like Elmo - a trait Callum enjoys thoroughly!

Callum loved meeting Alexandra over Thanksgiving, she was lots of fun!
