Olivier and Pasha Knopp

Pasha, 15 and Olivier 8, continue to keep us busy and fill our lives with joy. Olivier is enjoying being a second grader. He is still consumed by his passion for sports, playing indoor and outdoor soccer as well as baseball in the spring. He does put on ballet slippers for dance classes twice a week, leaping behind his brother, plays the piano every day and the rest of the time can be found his nose buried in a book.

Pasha, already in 10th grade is putting all his energies in his dance studies. He will be attending the School of American Ballet this summer for the second year, happy to be a new Yorker for the summer. He is now the tallest member of the family, but is still lovely to his shorter parents and brother.


Roger, Cordelia and Eleanor Tapping

Natasha and her husband, violist Roger Tapping, are very proud of their two daughters Cordelia and Eleanor. Cordelia is a very active 11 year old. She is in 6th grade, she plays the violin and piano and is enjoying playing in orchestra and singing in chorale. She is a great big sister and still enjoys playing with her little sister, Eleanor, 6, who is in first grade. Eleanor plays cello and piano, takes ballet and gymnastics classes, and she draws beautiful princesses.
