Moody Blues Piano - Alexander Piano - Jordan

Alexander and Jordan:

May was a busy month for us. It started with a dance recital. We have both been taking tap and ballet lessons every Saturday morning. Alexander is in his second year and Jordan is in his first year. We have a lot of fun with our classmates and our teacher Angie who teaches us all kinds of fun moves. This year we did a Mickey Mouse routine that was so fun that Alexander decided to do a pre-recital for our friends Viviane and Marco who were visiting from Rome (we went to Rome for their wedding last summer).

Later in the month we had a big trip to Florida to visit mommy's parents Baba Nadia and Dede Eddig. The best part was that we got to go swimming at the apartment complex everyday. It rained everyday but the rain came and went quickly, and we could always find a time to get to the pool. Alexander learned to swim across the pool putting his face in the water and lifting it to breath as he we went. Jordan learned to swim with his face in the water but only on the steps. We also spent time visiting with friends of Baba Nadia and mommy. That meant we visited with mommy's high school principal and with her high school piano teacher.
