Today I am joining Tanya (Around Roanoke) for,
WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE
School is out now. Yesterday was the last day for the kids. Wouldn't you know it, It rained today on the first day of Coleen's summer break. She's,
"bored" already.
This past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of activities for her. So today my post is all about Coleen. - Hope you don't mind if this proud Grandma shows her off a little.
1. Coleen (in the brown dress) played Marimba at the School Talent show (and again at their 5th Grade Graduation yesterday). She really had fun learning how to play the Marimba's.
2. I took this photo of her the night of her Piano Recital. She sure looks grown up in this shot.
3. It was hard to get a decent picture of her at the recital because it was held in a small living room and people were seated in folding chairs which made it difficult to see Coleen.
4.
5. After the ceremony we managed a quick shot with the happy girl.
She had a great day for sure.
Edited to add: Debbie said I should have been in the above shot so I'm including a shot that I had Greta take...
Don't forget to check out the other particpants. - Have a wonderful weekend.

I love to read notes by a proud grandma and I think there's a resemblance there, you and Colleen.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a beautiful young girl she is!! And to do a recital is special! That in itself takes a lot of nerve and professionalism!! Way to go Coleen!!!

ReplyDeleteHello, congrats to Coleen! She is a beautiful girl. Wonderful series of photos. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and the new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteColeen is really growing up, but I guess that happens. Good for her learning the piano and the Marimbas. She'll get into the swing of summer soon. I know you'll be out and about with her and the rainy days will be too few soon enough.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to colleen. I agree she looks very grown up in that first recital shot. I like the way her hair is styled too.
ReplyDeleteAs it should be.
