Staring at Mom.


There has been a high percentage of pregnancies at the Children's Yamaha Music School recently. Three out of thirteen teachers have brand new kids, with a fourth one on the way.

Four Weeks Later

It has been four weeks since Elsa was born, so I suppose it is time for some new pictures and an update. In that time we have seen: cluster feedings (which is nothing compared with what has become part of daily life for some); screams that break your heart; the appearance of a normal belly-button; severe diaper rash caused by diarrhea; many visitors; gifts of food, clothing and other cuteness; many, many diapers.


But mostly we have had four weeks of joy at the hands of really well tempered little girl who really digs on Art Blakey.


We know she gets her good looks from me, so liking drummers must come from Mom.
