November 2015

November 1, 2015 - Samuel was chosen as a finalist for a Radon Poster contest for the state of Utah.  He was chosen out of 700 entries.  He received an honorable mention for his poster.  He did such a great job on his poster.

 November 7, 2015 - Jane is already to go to her ballet class.  It is every Saturday morning.  She gets to take ballet with her cousin Hazel Brookes and they are taught by a great woman named Kirsti Vogeler.  Jane absolutely loves going to her class.

 November 7, 2015 - Our first karaoke night here in Utah.  It took us a while to finally get a karaoke and fondue party organized, planned and executed.  It is safe to say that I think everyone had a fantastic time.  This is likely the first of many karaoke parties.  The girls all took a turn to sing.

 Of course the boys had to have a turn too.  I think they sang "Everything is Awesome" from the Lego movie.  James Taylor put the music all together for this evening and he did an outstanding job.  So much fun.

 Jane enjoying our fall walk and making a leaf angel - November 9, 2015

 I figured out how to make a little twist in Jane's hair - it looked so pretty.  November 11, 2015

 November 16, 2015 - Visiting with the Cavallini crew (and nanny Evelyn).  Stefano, Isabella, Alessia, JeanCarlo, Olivia and Jane.

 Samuel earned a few pins as he works towards earning his Webelos.  November 17, 2015

 Samuel has really excelled in his piano playing lately.  He is currently working on a piece called Claire de Lune - November 19, 2015.

 George was able to participate in a musical play that some second graders were in.  It was called Momotaro.  George played a farmer and a villager.  They all worked very hard on this play and we were so proud of George and the parts that he played - even though he had suddenly become very sick.  Right after the play finished we went home and he went straight to bed and was down/sick for three days.  

 Finale.  Bravo! Way to go George!

November 26, 2015 - Annual Thanksgiving Day tradition of tossing the newspaper.  This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our house.  We were happy to have Angie and Donna stay the night and spend some fun time with us.  We love our family.
