Basketball
I'm home today with Andrew, who is on his 2nd day of flu-like symptoms. He's much better than yesterday, but we're still going to lay low. Here are a couple of photos from his basketball team - both from another parent on the team. He played 5th grade CYO basketball this year on the St. Vincent's team. We love the collage of individual shots - they are a good-looking group of boys!

New Lego video
Andrew's been experimenting with our new Flip video camera (thanks Grandma!). It's much easier to use than our previous camera, so you can look forward to more videos soon.

There are 50+ trees around the National tree, for each state and territory. This one is the Washington State tree.

Catching Up
Going through pictures this morning made me realize that there is quite a gap in the blog. Here's our attempt at catching up.
Andrew's steel drum concert at school (he's in yellow, right side, playing the largest drums)

Party kids after basketball at the community center
The early birthday party at Grandma's netted plenty of Oregon State gear

Philadephia @ Christmas
The Ben Franklin bridge lit up at night.
Same bridge in the morning; beautiful, cold sunrise.

Young Men at the Symphony
The boys went to watch mom at work. Tonight was Cirque de la Symphonie, as the orchestra performed wtih artists from the Cirque de Soleil organization. Strong men, jugglers, and acrobats performed to the as the Symphony played holiday music and light classics. Perhaps the most amazing act was a woman who plays the violin upside down. They didn't teach me that in violin methods class. Of course, the boys loved all of it!

The Grown-up violinist
Andrew's fall violin recital was last night. He played the 3rd movement of a Concerto by Seitz - quite a grown-up piece. And, he looked the part by borrowing a tie from Dad's closet. Andrew and Sam recently found a bunch of ties that Alan used to wear when he taught elementary school, and this is one of them. From a distance, it looks like a very serious, business-like tie, but up close the pattern is made up of M&M's.
