A musical weekend

We had a great weekend hosting 2 boys from The American Boychoir. These boys are 6th-8th graders and go to boarding school in Princeton, NJ. They are hand-selected to be in the school and then they must show exemplary behavior and performance to go on tour. They stay with host families during their tours, and we thought it would be great fun to host them for 2 nights. On Saturday night, while Dave and Kate were at the Daddy-Daughter Sweetheart dance, Nathan and I took the boys to play laser tag and glow-in-the-dark mini golf. Nathan LOVED hanging out with the big boys! And, these boys were extremely polite and mature (and nice to Nathan).

On Sunday, we heard this beautiful choir at church and then our own kids got to sing with them for their afternoon concert. We weren't able to videotape the performance (I was so bummed!). So, check our some samples of The American Boychoir here: http://www.americanboychoir.org/music.html. and imagine our kids singing with them. They did great!

Daddy-Daughter fun

Kate was sooooo excited to go to the Girl Scout Daddy-Daughter Sweeheart Dance last night. She and Dave dressed up for the western theme and had a great evening - going out to eat and then dancing the night away. Kate was seen doing the Macarena and Chicken dance, along with being swirled by her daddy A LOT.

The Rock Lover

We took a day trip to Enchanted Rock State Park on Valentine's Day and hiked up the big rock. Nathan was either being a 9 year old boy, or he just loves rocks, but either way, he was all over the place! He was worrying his mommy. Kate wasn't so sure about the rocks, but a bribe of chocolate at the top was enough for her. It was a great day!

Valentine's Day and the Science Fair

Happy Valentine's Day! The kids were sooooo excited for their school parties today. They handmade their Valentines and were looking forward to exchanging them. We are sending all of you some love today.

The kids did wonderfully in the Science Fair a couple of weeks ago. Nathan's project was "The Force of Water" and he knew his material well. Kate's project was "Electricity from Fruits and Vegetables." Both kids really enjoyed the experience.

My time of unemployment is nearly over! I got offered a contract job this week for a company that does online marketing consulting for non-profits. This company actually wants me part time (with flexible hours) and they are completely fine with our trip this summer - I'll either scale down on my projects or work remotely from Hungary. YEA!
Dave is busy getting his work permit together - there's a lot involved, but everything is on track. We are getting excited. He is also busy getting our school's First Lego League together - I don't know who is excited - Dave or his students!
