Piano Recital, May 20, 2011

Here is a clip of Abby playing and singing "Our God" with a worship band - its not the whole song, as I had to cut it down to a smaller size for now.

Here is her other recital piece:

Here is Ian, and then Ian and Abby together.

Sledding in the Frigid North

I took Ian and Elijah to a Cub Scouts sledding party in January. It was 12 degrees. But we still had fun! This is the sledding hill- it was basically a 50-foot plunge into a ravine. Fast and furious! Ian loved it, but it was a bit much for Elijah. Both times he ended up with a face full of snow. In 12 degree weather, that's hard to stomach at age 5.
Elijah got to try cross-country skiing, which he really enjoyed. He wanted to do it several times.

Ian got to try cross-country skiing as well, and he also really enjoyed it.

Where does he come up with this stuff?

This is a video Ian made on his digital camera. We have no idea where he came up with this, but it may have something to do with him watching NASCAR races with his Dad. Surely this is how Ron Howard would have started as a young man...

We're genuinely impressed with his creativity!
