Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It's getting chilly up in these parts.  Last night, Cori and I ventured down to Northrup auditorium with the Bird and caught the Hong Kong Ballet.

She was enchanted.

We also arrived early enough that the ballerinas were entering, to go to the director's dinner beforehand, and stopped and chatted with her.  Mesmerized would be how I described her.  Enchanted with all things ballet :)

Luckily, we got there that early because between finding a place to park and the Bird and I having to run all over campus to locate an ATM to pay for parking, Big Daddy Superstar barely made it to his seat in time.

The Bird spent the whole 2 hours staring at the stage and gasping in wonder.  A trip to see the nutcracker for Christmas may be in order. :)

We are also exploring the idea of ballet lessons for her.  Right now, she is in Just for Kix and she has lots of fun but we think the discipline and order of ballet may be something that helps her as well.

The Hardy Boys continue to plod through school.  The oldest has now decided to take up basketball...in his senior year...to stay in condition for track.

The youngest got a pencil stuck in his trumpet...really...I can't make this stuff up.
