The high school had a talent contest called, Perry (the name of the high school) Idol. Olivia tried out and made the "Mini Idol" whose artists performed during the counting of the votes of the full Idol.
She performed her piano recital piece (recital is in April) and did a great job! I was very proud of Olivia (as always!)

See for yourself. :)
The assistant principal at the high school came up to me afterwards and told me how great Olivia did and how it reminded him of his daughter and her early piano recitals and reminded me to "Cherish these moments. They go too fast." |
| A friend sent me this picture and that's Dr Funk, our assistant principal, back right with his leg crossed, listening to her. I like this picture because every time I look at it, I think of his words and how he must have been feeling (Both daughters graduated from college, Kansas University, ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK, GO BIG 12!, several years ago and now he has grandsons who is he hoping to see play in piano recitals!) and how you have people tell you "It goes fast" ad nauseam. You think, "Yes. I know. I've heard it. But right now I'm not sure I'm going to make it until bedtime. It would be okay if time went a little faster for today." But it really does go fast....and I need to cherish these girls. |
GREAT JOB OLIVIA!!!!!!!!!

I say this all the time! I'll be sitting in the van, FUMING, because someone is dawdling to get to the car and we have two more kids to get somewhere on time and no one has eaten and someone forgot their lesson book/instrument/shoes and in my head I'm swearing a blue streak and I'm whispering "don't wish it away, don't wish it away, don't wish it away..." And it's true. And when Olivia is 30 you will look at this picture and it will seem like yesterday, won't it? *sigh*
