Matilda Entertains Herself

"Black Swan," a duet between Babba and Monica from Menotti's The Medium. This is a live recording from 2005 at CSU, Fresno, under the tutelage of Helene Joseph-Weil and Randy Lacy. I play Monica and Cassandra Stafford is Babba.

This is a song by Chris Caswell. My parents running through the song in preparation for my brother's wedding. "Long may the walls of your kitchen resound with the voices of young children dear."

French song by Georges Bizet. This is a live recording from 2006 at CSU, Fresno, under the tutelage of Helene Joseph-Weil. Natasha Kislenko is the collaborative pianist.

Apparently he's out for a run.

New drum from Grammie and Papa.

22 month old wakes from nap grumpy. This is an attempt to distract her (she can see herself on the iPod).

She enjoys Dad's tenderness and sneezes. This one is a few weeks old.

My cat Coda has scooted his bed so that it is precariously perched and then decides to lie down.

We are on 3rd St Promenade and Matilda has fallen asleep.
