A Star is Born!

Julian called last night to say he had tried out for a part in A Christmas Story. He got the part of Randy, the little brother. Congratulations, Julian. He said to come to the first performance. The performances will be the first 3 weekends in December. Should be fun.

Jordan's birthday

I did take pictures! This is after the ice cream cake. Pirates fighting in the kitchen!
Same pirates but some adjustments are necessary after all that fighting!
Before the hostility, we all had mint chip ice cream chocolate cake. Happy 18th!

More under-8 soccer

These are very recent. Just last Saturday, Oct. 20. This is the game they won and she got her foot on the ball a couple of times. Way to go, Feli.

Julian's acting

Julian took a series of acting classes. They gave a performance at the end of the series. Here he is reporting to Joe Friday the theft of the clapper from his copper bell.
I do not remember all the details but the clapper was stolen from his copper bell by Clyde, the kleptomaniac from Cleveland. There was a cleaning lady involved. When it was all said and done, Clyde was to get clobbered. You get the drift. It was hilarious and Julian was magnificent. He seems to be a natural. His voice is crystal clear and carries though out the venue. The theater on B Street.


This was another skit. This is at the end. All these people get knocked down by the cleaning lady that was mopping.



Julian has just been bumped by the cleaning lady's mop. You can see part of her on the left.Then, he crashes to the floor. It was a great slap-stick skit.

Fall Birthdays

Aunt Julie opening her gifts.
Aunt Sharon and Shelene opening theirs.
We were at the Barkley-Brinson's house for this party. I neglected to take any pictures of the birthday boy-Jordan. Here he is in the background. We did have an ice cream cake for him at our house on the night of his birthday. Still didn't take pictures then.

Visit to Steph

We went to see Steph one Sunday. Here Julian is reading "brain quest" questions to Steph and Jordan.
He is getting a kick out of their fierce competition.
Looks like Steph is making a point. And perhaps, Jordan does not agree?

Soccer Under-8's

Here is Feliciana playing soccer. She is on the Thunder-somethings.
Her team won this game. She actually kicked the ball a few times.
