Ballet Recital

I hope you can stand two videos in two days. And this one is a good bit longer (about 17 minutes). Don’t give up on it too early because there is a really special dance treat near the end that you will NOT want to miss (or just click up to the 11:13 time [...]

Twinkles Graduation

A few weeks ago Sarah completed her requirements for the Twinkles graduation. She has been playing violin now for about a year. She is now on her third violin because as she grows, she needs to keep getting larger violins. Now that she has graduated from Twinkles, she will be starting Suzuki book [...]

Happy Easter 2010

Happy Easter, everyone.  We had a very nice Easter today.  We ate a very nice brunch at the Founder’s Inn with my mom (who is visiting for about ten days), Karen, Calla and Quinn.  Oh yeah, my mom is here for a while to take care of Sarah is on Spring Break.  Of course [...]

Morning After Photos

One more video from the Nor’easter

The rain let up so I was a little more brave and took my camera out for a better angle.
