We took a number of pictures from my daughter’s band and chorus concert last night and also a good number of videos. What I didn’t realize was that those videos sure take up a lot of memory. Next time I will come better prepared with extra flash memory drives for my camera. Here is my [...]

Last night was our end of the year Band, Chorus and Orchestra Concert for the elementary school. My daughter plays the trumpet and also sings in the Chorus. The finale for the band was Star Wars. My son was so excited. He was waiting all evening for this performance.

He is not quite tall enough, nor strong enough, but my six year old wants to mow the lawn. He sees his Dad and older sister doing it and thinks he should be able to. Here he is trying to start the lawn mower: He needed a little help from Dad, but soon they were [...]

I was going through the photos on my digital camera and realized that I had not copy a bunch of them to my hard drive. The end of the year last year was a busy time for us. What with school concerts, Halloween, selling stuff of ebay for Christmas and installing new alarm systems for [...]

This year, my 9 year old daughter’s class trip was to the Bronx Zoo. This is the same trip that I took five years ago when my older daughter was in 4th grade. Since there were a lot of parent volunteers, there wasn’t enough room on the bus, so I drove into New York with [...]

Every year we go to my in-laws for Easter Dinner and an egg hunt in the living room. The kids love this! Here they are looking for eggs among the Easter goodies: After the eggs were found, all the Easter gifts were open and the sugar rush began! Hope everyone had a happy Easter!

This week my kids were off school, so that really cut into my blogging time. We went to a movie – Monsters & Aliens – which was just ok and we also took the train into New York, went to Central Park, Toys R Us and the M&M shop. Since we were thirsty we stopped [...]

I have been absent from this blog for good reasons. First, I attended the funeral of my Uncle. It was great to see all the cousins and families again, but it was such sad circumstances. We will miss his sense of humor and love for everyone. Second, after I got back I was so swamped [...]

My daughter played on the Freshman High School team this year and finally finished tonight with a win for third place in the conference. Their record was 18 wins and 2 losses which is not too shabby. She didn’t get much playing time tonight and I am not sure why, but she was glad they [...]

There is nothing more in this world that my 9 year old daughter wants than a dog. She does have allergies, so there are only a certain number of dogs that are in the running. I have explained to her that taking care of a dog is a lot of responsibility, but she seems up [...]
