The Spring Piano Recital

For Viki we recorded the boys’ spring piano recital.   The videos are on YouTube;  I hope I get these links correct!   For some reason, the names got messed up. 

This is Joey playing his song -  Sonatina in C Major, Allegro by Clementi.

 

This is Nicky playing My Time Machine by Timothy Brown.

And THIS is the duet – Straw Hat Strut.

Enjoy!   Amy

8th Grade Formal Dance

On Friday, May 21, the 8th graders had their formal dance.  The theme was Aloha.  Nicky’s date was Jenny.   Here are some pictures from before the dance.   Enjoy!

The corsage and entry ticket.   All students had to have 4 teachers and their parent sign the permission form.

Getting ready!

The young couples… from left to right – Nicky, Jenny, Colin, Hope, Cody and Lauren.

The formal picture!

According to Nicky, he had a BLAST!!! 

*sniff*  they grow up so fast!!!!

The newest addition to the family!

Jefferson is visiting for a two week trial. I am guessing he is not going back..... At least we are just leasing him, so I won't need to keep him in the backyard when Katie leaves for college! :)
















Unfortunately, it was raining so there was no riding today. We will have to see how he does when she gets on him. But even I have to admit that he seems like a big sweetie.

The last lap of that great mile race

Here’s the last lap from the mile race that Nicky ran at the Durham County District track meet.   Nicky came in third – as the video shows, almost second (6/100th of a second out of 2nd place!!!)

The young man in first place is Michael;  the second place winner is Ramel.  Both are teammates of Nicky’s and all were proud winners at this year’s meet.

Nicky’s boys track team won the District championship – here’s a neat picture of Nicky.

To complete his track meet, Nicky placed 5th in the 800 (2 laps around the track) race.   Very cool!
