Recent Awards and Projects

Antonio earned a "Superior" trophy at All-State Choir. Check out his new glasses, too. David tries to explain his Mandarin homework and shares a recent Family Tree project. (Our apologies for the various photos missing that we could not locate in time.)

Some Weekend Activities

A myriad of activities this weekend in between Wizard of Oz rehearsals, church, etc.

Nana and Papa visited Saltgrass Steak House.
The lightly-fried green beans were great.

We picked up Catan Starfarers recently!
Wow, great game! Original Catan on steroids!

The Littles made pretzels (with Nana).
Including a nice little mustard sauce/dip.

 

Once Every Four Years

Once every FOUR years, FOUR by Brother Luck throws a "Once Every FOUR Years" dinner party! And this Leap Year was no exception... This year's beverage partner was Jackson Hole Still Works. As it turned out, Brother was out of town, but his chef partner, Ashley Brown, and her crew did a marvelous job. Too bad we missed visiting this distillery when we were in Jackson Hole last year!

The Espresso Martini and the
Cross Venture were the bomb!

Scallop Crudo

Aromatic Brined Pork Tenderloin

Strawberry Rice Pudding

Kids will be kids.

Fire, Groceries, and a Show

I was in interesting weekend. On Sunday there was a fire across the way on the Air Force Academy property. It was brought under control fairly quickly, but not before we got an interesting view from our third floor landing. The Air Academy and the elementary school in that vicinity was closed a day or two following. Then on Monday Tracy and Lynn went grocery shopping! And Papa, Nana, and Antonio saw She Loves Me at First Company - Bravo!

The Latest Puzzle

 Tracy's doing, of course...

Wizard of Oz Gatherings

Antonio had some friends over from the Wizard of Oz production to watch a Willy Wonka movie. So the "catering" team went into action including Fina making the signs. This happened to be the same day we got some pics from a rehearsal earlier in the day.
