This is pretty much where we can find Gracie these days – at the piano.

Usually I just see the back of her head, but I love this look when I do catch a glimpse of her face and she is trying to figure out a new piece. Her Wicked music book arrived on Friday evening and she immediately sat down with pure joy at the possibility of learning a new piece. She is practicing for an Instrument Recital coming up at school, and her piano teacher asked if she would play at the Shrove Tuesday celebration at church in a few weeks, too. I’m just living vicariously (and a little in awe) through her since she has already far surpassed any “plunking” I can do on the piano.
