Video of Katie's solo at church on March 2nd.  She did a wonderful job leading the whole church in song!

Katie singing!

 

Can you find all three girls in the choir??

This is the prettiest my kitchen window has looked in a long time!  Both of my very old amaryllises bloomed at the same time, I have an old orchid that's been in bloom for 6 mos or so, and I got a new orchid at Bordine's for my birthday!  It's so pretty, it almost makes me want to do dishes!  (but not quite)

Megan decorating a chalice to remember her first communion!

Katie and Jess playing a balancing game at gymnastics open gym.  My friend Shari works at this gymnastics place about 20 min north of us, and she told us about their homeschooler open gyms each week.  Katie and Jess LOVE it!  They get free reign over all the equipment - bars, beams, floor, trampoline, ropes, foam pit, etc etc.  Katie has perfected her back walkover these past few weeks, and Jess has learned how to hang upside down by her legs alone!

 

Chris's weekend adventure - he was in Italy this past week.  He usually flies coach, with a stop in Paris (a terrible airport).  But he lucked out and got a seat on the corporate jet on the way TO Italy last Sunday.  He got to wine, dine, rub elbows, AND play poker with the CEO!  He also lucked out on the flight home and got a seat on a secondary corporate jet with more bigwigs.  The flight left late on Saturday, so he took advantage of the free day and drove to the Alps to go skiing for the day!!  He said it was the most amazing skiing ever!!  Here is one of the runs at Monterosa:

On the flight home, the plane had to stop in Shannon, Ireland.  The flight attendant promised to pick up Guinness for the passengers, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, but Chris asked if Kilkenny was an option.  She called ahead and got a case of Kilkenny for them!  Chris was in heaven - it was his favorite beer when we visited Ireland!  And apparently all the other people loved it, too - no one drank a Guinness.
