Daily Schedule for 9/22/08

Today, among other things, we had a piano recital. Jared and I played a piano solo. Olivia was invited to sing since she's been having voice lessons. I played because my cardinal rule of mothering is I won't "make" my kids do anything I'm not willing to do myself. In TJEd terms that would be "Inspire Not Require." The kids did great!
