Sunday with my brother's family

This past Sunday, my girlfriend and I spent some time with the family of my nieces. We did a variety of activities together. But this post specializes on the violin playing time. Much of the time in these pictures my girlfriend played the violin while one of my nieces would play the piano. In the last picture, my oldest niece was given a chance to try out the violin.

When violin is not well played, it's a pitty for the ears, I hope your girl friend is a good player, tim; 1/28/2007 01:07:00 PM

It looks like a very happy Sunday afternoon.; 1/28/2007 06:45:00 PM
