Mya's Orchestra Concert

This was from Mya's Orchestra concert last night. She has been practicing very hard to learn the two songs they performed pizzicato on the violin and we are very proud of her. The songs were "Jingle Bells" and "The Dreidel Song." Luckily the beginners went first because Michael's wrestling practice was taking place simultaneously down the hall, so I was able to sneak out after they were finished :)

1st Day of School

Mya and Michael's first day of school for the 2010-11 year. Michael is starting first and Mya starting third grades. They were both very excited.



The rest of the photos from this morning's shoot are here:

Struble Elementary School - 5th Grade Class of 1984

This is an amazing blast from the past video provided by Mr. Kline (a teacher from 5th Grade). It is amazing for me to watch this and see all the faces of the children & teachers I remember from those years. People I hadn't thought about in years I remembered instantly. This also sparked a very long comment thread on Facebook when the first 5 minutes were posted. This is the entire one hour video. What amazes me as well is how it was edited together "the old fashioned way." With the technology today, it is so simple to put together a video, but back then - 25 years ago - it was a bit more of a challenge. Enjoy.
