Hannah as a prisoner of war!

Thanks
ChristopherShe does not look happy. This was a part of her revolutionary war series at school.

Hannah is a patriot!

Yesterday, Hannah participated in a reenactment of the revolutionary war. Se was fortunate enough to play the role of Deborah Sampson -- one of the first women to impersonate a man just so they could join the rebellion. Check out her presentation and outfit. She did an amazing job.

Kentucky versus Tennessee

Last week Bob and I travelled to Lexington Kentucky to see my beloved
wildcats win over the Tennessee volunteers. I had not been there
since 87. It was an amazing experience. We even took time to tour the
wild turkey distillery which turned out to be fascinating. Alas there
was no tasting offered but it was well worth the 30 minute drive.

Hannah rocks the science fair at Saratoga Elementary!

Mommy and Daddy were so proud. Well done darling.

1664 Federal for sale

It is with mixed feelings that we announce that our beautiful home just went on the market for sale. We are in the process of relocating the Bay area due to eBay's recent acquisition of Positronic. This is an exciting time for us but we had never intended to sell our home. Here is the link to the site. Please feel free to share this with anyone that you think might be interested.

Andrew's Kindergarten Class sings carols

Andrew is seated in the very front right in the middle. He has a Santa hat on. He was belting out the tunes. We were very proud parents.



Happy holiday.

Halloween 2008

The rain stopped just in time for us to have an amazing Halloween evening. Andrew was completely into trick or treating this year. Neither was willing to go up and see the famous witch who has haunted 18th avenue here in Seattle for 35 years. Perhaps next year!

Enjoy!

Andrew does the Macarena!

Last Friday the whole family attended Steven's Fall Social. Sandi was on the planning committee and spent literally countless hours in advance to make sure the event was a huge success. It was absolutely amazing. We danced the Electric Slide! We danced the Limbo! We played musical chairs. The parents and students were equally involved. The highlight for me came when Andrews class led the entire group in an extended edition of the Macarena! Thankfully a friend of ours who has a student in Andrew's class put recorded the event for posterity. Enjoy!
