Les Miserables

Antonio, formerly known as AJ, played Feuilly in Les Miserables this weekend and also understudied for Gavroche. Here are some pics leading up to and including opening night and closing night. Tracy did some tech work, mostly getting all the mics on properly. And Fina is now working at the Ent Center as an usher through UCCS.

The crowd popped to their feet as the curtain call began.

We hosted one of the "fireside gatherings" after a rehearsal.

We got AJ started on his show keepsake...
Don't worry, we'll backfill earlier shows.

Lexi is Cheerleading

Lexi thoroughly enjoyed her week or two exploring cheerleading, including a chance to cheer at a football game!

Matching Outfits

How's this for priceless?! Lexi and our foster baby got matching outfits.

Phi Sig !

We have a Phi Sig in the household now! Fina has joined Phi Sigma Sigma at UCCS!

Labor Day at the Pool and Other Celebrations

Labor Day at the pool is always a hoot. Double cheeseburgers and hot dogs were the big hit this year. We also celebrated the 5th anniversary of Jonny's Chiari surgery and Nana and Papa celebrated their 48th at Ricky's Cantina (the lunchtime name for Ambli Global Cuisine).

Wrapping up Summer

The last part of August flew by, as did summer. What, back to school already!

Nana and Papa's car meets an untimely demise.

Setting up Shop at UCCS

Nana, Papa, and Aunt Vickie got home from Wyoming just in time (well, actually, a little late) to help Fina move into her dorm at UCCS.
