Piano Recital

 Last weekend, the kids had a piano recital. As mentioned last week, Ethan was sick with a fever, so he managed to finagle his way out of it.




Alaina did a great job, performing 2 pieces, .   Our covid pod friends, Malin and Miles, take lessons from the same teacher, so we got to hear them play and see them after which was fun.   

Ethan meanwhile, is dying to quit, but I am using him to keep it up a little longer so he doesn't lose all of his skills....

Ethan's Birthday

 This week Ethan celebrated his 15th Birthday!   One more year until he can drive!  ðŸ˜³


Unfortunately on the night of his birthday, he had his last soccer game of the season.  It was dark AND pouring.   Jason and I went out to see him, but everyone was pretty miserable.   Afterwards we grabbed a quick bite a at a nearby taqueria and called it a night.

This weekend, we had a little more time to celebrate.   On Saturday night, my dad came over and Ethan got to have his birthday meal--crab!  And he picked out his favorite cake too--an ice cream cake with mint ice-cream and Oreos.





Sunday, we planned to take him and two friends went to Sandbox VR to celebrate--playing some VR video game and then to Chinese food for lunch.   However he woke up sick and with a fever, so we had to postpone.

This year, all Ethan asked for for his birthday was cash!   Teenagers.


Anyhow, not a bad birthday in the end.
