breakfast with grandma

emmett, bryanna and i visited grandma this morning. we had an awesome time. emmett shared some of his music knowledge with grandma. he showed how he could read music, identify a treble clef, the difference between a half note, whole note and quarter note. he showed her what a measure was and the notation to end a song. he solo'd "hot cross buns" to us. he got in a little argument as to what the proper notation was for an A. mom said he was point to a B but emmett insisted it was an A. she looked at me and said emmett really should not be questioning her ability to identify one musical note from another. i agreed and told emmett that mom was right and he should listen to her. we found the note in a book and it turned out emmett was wrong.

bryanna showed grandma some of her favorite pictures that she used to create a story book at school. she gave a lovely slide show and wonderful story of each picture to grandma. grandma loved listening to bryanna.

bryanna also showed grandma a lovely video of emmett and me competing in a speed sailing event in sf bay:

emmett was so proud to share what a talented (and record holding) sailor he is. we set the rave class record for the event. he also loved hangin' with the photographers and race committee for the event. he even told the driver when one of the photographers fell out of the boat (that the driver did not notice).
