Saturday morning Audrey, Paula and I went to Music Hall for the Lollipops Family Concert performed by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. An hour before the performance they have interactive music stations in another hall. 
Paula overheard some people commenting about how little Audrey was and how she attacked the drum with so much confidence.
The violin was a little more challenging but ...
she worked it.
She really enjoyed being on stage with all these kids. Below is a very short video that sorta shows her dancing, etc. I don't have much luck downloading longer videos.We met Anna and Lucy at the concert and Miss A thought she saw Lucy when she was on the stage. John also caught up with us for the concert after his run in Mt Airy Park..

A photo of us before we went into the concert. Because I bought our tickets through Miss Amanda's music class we had fantastic seats ... 6th row center orchestra. The theme for this concert was "It's Storytime". The concert started with the Carnival of the Animals which included poems written and read by SCPA students. Towards the end of the hour long concert John Morris Russel, CSO conductor, led the audience in a sing along of Kookaburra that was fun. In the middle of the show Russell introduced a 29 year old Chinese pianist named Lang Lang who he described as the" best in the world". According to Lang Lang's bio he started playing the piano at 3 years old and by the time he was 5 he was giving recitals and winning competitions.
Miss A's wardrobe change after her nap for our Chinese New Year party with neighbors and friends Saturday afternoon. This is the same dress she wore on the red couch in Guangzhou when she was just 10 months old.
Our neighbors gave her so many gifts. In the picture above our neighbor Nancy T is giving her a new plush puppy.
Random candid photos.
They aren't good pictures but they are the only ones I have of the adults.

Kids at the kitchen table. We gave the 16 kids who came to our party red envelopes with 10 yuan (about $1.70 each).
