Eric at a Piano Recital

Eric was in a piano recital a week ago, but I just hadn't posted anything about it yet. He did a great job! The songs he played are "Almost like a dream" and "Shout to the North". Right after the recital, Dennis and I took just him out for a belated birthday treat (he turned 9). Since we didn't do a birthday party this year, we decided to do something special with just him and us. Granni & Gramps babysat the others while we took Eric up to Annapolis for dinner at a seafood restaraunt (Kentmorr Rest. http://www.kentmorr.com/) and then to see a movie he has been really wanting to see after reading the book series-Spiderwick Chronicles. It was a good movie (way too scary for the younger two) and actually we had some great conversations afterwards. In the movie there was more drama than in the books surrounding the fact that the parents of the main characters were separated, so it offered an opportunity to talk about this with Eric, something he really has been sheltered about up until now. So we had a nice time on Saturday, and on Sunday, we celebrated Granni's birthday as a family!
