Don Quixote

AJ (Antonio) danced his way into the ballet "Don Quixote" today, produced by the Colorado Ballet Society. It was a 1-show run. He was a very energetic Little Toreador. It snowed today, too.

AJ is 3rd from the right with a black cape, seated, front row.

Graduation Luncheon, etc.

Fina, Tracy, and Nana attended Fina's Graduation Luncheon held at the Antler's Hotel downtown yesterday (Saturday). Pretty swank! Just below is the dress she wore for the occasion. Nana and Papa discovered the movie theatre shown below when they went to see Nefarious (see "Demons" essay) this evening. 





Nana got this cell pic at Antlers: Fina is center front.



Warning: the lined moved slowly. Get there really early.

Some early morning baby care.

Quilting progress...

And Jamie's melodrama rehearsals are well under way.

Fina Graduation Announcements

I think we've officially hit graduation season. Invites are arriving and being sent out like mad. Calendar entries are being made fast and furiously. Way more folks are coming to town from all compass points than we anticipated. Hold on tightly! Have we mentioned that Fina is giving the Student Address at Graduation?!

A Normal Week (?)

Simba turned Asian.

Almost 80 degrees today.
Papa got to use his happy place.

This activity has lasted days and is still going on...

Matteo and Papa hit exactly the right time to be at Starbucks
near the Air Force Academy. Fighter jets were doing site surveys
and practicing for upcoming shows. I didn't get a decent photo
of the planes, but I did get this one of the odd structure (right)
going up by the new hotel, visitor center, etc. 


Coloradans are not surprised by April snow.
We got two snow storms this week.
June snow is not unusual.



It takes two to get AJ ready for Don Quixote dress rehearsals.

I have no idea? But do their eye colors match or what?!

Easter Dinner

Tak, London, and Lauren joined us for dinner. Matt made Biria Tacos (really good!) and Tracy and Nana whipped up a fancy strawberry and pink lemonade drink/dessert. Yum!






Easter

We all attended (not worked) church this morning; took up most of an entire row! Then back to the house for the big hunt. Brahm did a masterful job of hiding the eggs. It was more like artistically placing the eggs. All the photos are here.
