Do you hear that?


Alex has been taking Music Together classes for the past year. He was so little when we started and the only instrument he could hold was a cute little maraca. It has been so much fun to watch him progress in context to the class. From wanting to hold the instruments and not give them back to now helping put them away. Sometimes he will even sing along, which is so funny. This past week, aside from the school age kids, he was the little extrovert. Following the teacher around the room, shaking the bells, and generally not sitting with us at all. All the other "little kids" were sticking close by their parents (not typical behavior). He is such a treasure, but sometimes we wonder where he came from!

We're hoping to continue classes through the summer...get Baby ready to join the family band nice and early!

Ice, ice Baby

Our curling club (SFBACC) is hosting it's first ever bonspiel this weekend. We haven't been too involved with the club recently (gee, I wonder why) but we wanted to help out and see everyone so Alex and I cruised on down to Fremont today. Honestly, we went to help, but they had everything under control, so we wound up being atmosphere for a few hours. It was fun to see our 'old' curling pals again and Alex really enjoyed watching the action on the ice. Fortunately it was just practice because he also enjoyed banging on the glass, hockey style. We missed some friends, but we'll be back again and hopefully they'll be around.

Alex had a chance to get out on the ice and try out the rocks. I think he's a natural!
