Graduation Road Trip

The Reguscis set sail by land on a trip to California principally to share a graduation party with some California friends. Two days on the road, three days there, and 2 days back. The two families have already celebrated several graduations and they've got about 10 more to go.

Enroute...

No Way - in Germany?!

Greg and Matteo met up... In Germany! Matteo was on a European History Tour and Greg's family was visiting a foreign exchange student they'd had.

Happy Birthday, Lexi!

Nothing like celebrating a birthday with all the sugary stuff you can dream of as well as Dad's Donuts!

Easter

It was a glorious day! The whole fam damily attended church (along with a million other people!). Then home for some egg hunting, a relaxing afternoon, and ribs and kabobs for dinner. All the photos are here.

Lunch is all packed for school tomorrow.

Dyed marshmallows!

We planted jellybeans the night before.

Passover Seder on Good Friday

It was an odd coincidence indeed... Passover Seder on Good Friday. But that's how our schedules worked out this year. We set the table for 17, but alas, 2 of 4 friends weren't able to make it. The menu included brisket, 7-layer salad, potato kugels, tons of matzos and good butter, Martinelli's and wine, and a chocolate flourless cake with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. And, of course, the Seder Plate with bitter herbs, etc. A feast indeed! As always, we used Prager's Passover Haggadah with various parts read by everyone taking turns around the table. We're getting reasonably good at this...

Flourless chocolate cake...

Sorry for the pi-looking Hebrew hay.
Thank you, Lexi, for the decoration.

Making potato kugels

That's right - it was a snowy day!

Comfortably getting started on Wednesday.

Blind Karaoke

"Blind Karaoke" made for a fabulous afternoon at the Compound! If you've never played, it's basically regular karaoke EXCEPT the singer does not get to look at the screen (at all), only the "audience" can see the screen. This is when you find out if you've got a real theatre family or not. We do!

Conservatory: Ensemble Concert

The Colorado Springs Conservatory held an Ensemble Concert tonight. They showcased a number of groups and performers. Antonio (roughly rear-left below) was in a couple of the numbers. Here's the entire group for the "curtain call"...
