Singing and signing

Friends, Learning, School, Theater Comments Off on Singing and signing

One last performance at Hanson Place. A little bittersweet, but at least it was a mellow performance to show off the singing and signing that the kids have been learning (or not learning well if you spent a week in Cape Cod while everyone else practiced).

The younger kids.

BBQ at Kat’s

Chilling, Cousin Declan, Eating, Family Comments Off on BBQ at Kat’s

A while back Kate’s uncle Jerry was in town so we went out to a mid-week bbq at his daughter Kat’s house. I didn’t take very many photos, the food was too good, but I did want to post this one of Noah and Declan.

…and maybe this patriotic table setting.

…and I kind of need to put this one of Noah in Murphy’s dog cage.

Thanks for having us out Kat!
