A day at the Spectrum

Every California trip needs a day at the Irvine Spectrum. Andrew and I loved coming here to walk around and people watch before kids. It is even more fun with our three in tow. This past January we even took them on the giant Ferris Wheel.

so this was a real treat

Holiday Programs (December 2010)

This past year we stayed in New Hampshire just long enough for our kids to take part in their holiday programs. David sang and played instruments alongside his classmates at his Nursery School. It was great to see him smiling and singing. We are so proud of him.

Isa took part in her first dance recital, it was quite a production! We were blown away with our little girl, stayed backstage without our assistance and came out and performed her little heart out for each of her numbers, including costume changes! It really is amazing what our kids are capable of doing. Our home video came out terrible, so we are purchasing the formal DVD from the dance company, they were all just too adorable!

Isa likes to bow
