Halloween 2010

This year Alex was a cowboy, Anna was Dora the Explorer, and Mali was a purple witch. I got groovy in 60's garb. Friday night was a party at Mali's karate dojo. Saturday night Aunt Andrea came over and fixed us a Mummy Sandwich and Bones to eat and then we were off to trunk-or-treat. Sunday, the real Halloween, we had a neighborhood street party followed by trick-or-treating. The kids are all still high on sugar!

Amber in the studio

I was hired to sing back-ups on a CD. (That's not me.) I got to go into a professional studio and be treated like a rock star. My friend and tenor (and Puerto Rican) Chris Crommett is making a Christmas CD. The songs are in Spanish and are a mix of new arrangements of old favorites and some new songs.

Raingutter Regata

Alex built and painted his boat for the Raingutter Regata. While he didn't win the whole thing, he did really well and won several heats. Besides, he had a lot of fun! We were just relieved that the boat floated!

Nanna and Alvaro came to visit. We did a lot of shopping, eating, playing games, and laughing. The kids were delighted when we showed up to have lunch with them.
