My sister, about a week old, next to my full-size Guarneri del Gesu (replica, of course).

I had babysitting today. Very draining. No practicing got done. Instead, I left at eleven this morning, returned at six, and ate a ham sandwich, chocolate chips and ginger ale.

Give me a break. I'm a teenager. I need "nutrients"...

Today for school, we had to write an essay explaining how to do something. I wrote on how to irritate a conductor. Not that I have knowledge from experience or anything, but the people behind me can do a good job: "I don't have my pencil/music/music stand", "Uhhhhh....we have a concert next week?", etcetera.

I was practicing R-K's Capriccio Espagnol yesterday. Hard, but it's starting to smoke. Beethoven's Fifth is tricky too, but less chords to tune up. Just some nasty bowing techniques, like the Borodine. It's so nice when things go well.

Your baby sister is really cute. I'm glad you photographed her next to the violin so we can appreciate her size better. Besides, maybe she'll grow up to be a violinist, too.

You could break the world record by buying a small violin and putting it under her chin, so she can play violin before she learns walking. First violinconcerto with orchestra with her as soloist/violinist at the age of 2? (André Rieu played with a 3 year old boy on stage)

Genius doesn't run in the family I'm afraid....

She's definately going to be a violinist (my parents have all of us start Age 3 or 4), so when she's my age, she can look back and see how far she's come...

I have the exact same quilt.
