At the Opera

Like previous years, Elizabeth is teaching at the Accademia d'Amore, the Baroque opera workshop run by Stephen Stubbs and Maxine Eilander.  Unlike previous years, this workshop is at Cornish College of the Arts and now necessitates childcare.  This is being handled by Paul and Oma (Grandma Derksen).  They found a lounge on the bottom floor of the building and have been camped out there.  Auntie Kathryn also stops by at times.  They have milk left for them, but most of the time Elizabeth has been able to come down at breaks to feed Lotty.

This first pictures, taken outside the main concert hall, makes it looks like Lotty wants her space.  Instead, she got taken to the student lounge/computer lab.  It is a pretty nice space, but has gotten rather hot over the last few days with the outside temperatures getting to be about 90°F.  Fortunately, the weather has turned cooler and that makes it easier on everyone.


Sometimes, a wonderfully sleeping baby decides that things which were just fine maybe aren't so fine any more.  Maybe there is reason to be a bit grumpy.  Or maybe things are downright terrible and a formal complaint must be made to management.

But Oma is there with a bottle to make things all better.
