(Here's the whole blog.)
We are here at the beach where it rained a bunch today. Four separate showers, each with thunder, probably adding up to more than an inch. The kids have been pretty disappointed, but at least they have their cousins to play with. I spent too much time on the computer at Topcoder, practicing my algorithm skills. Boy, that site can be pretty harsh on the "30% unused code" rule. I never could figure out which code it thought was unused.
Sing Ho for the Life of a Bear!
We saw "Beauty and the Beast" this afternoon at the MAC (Murray Arts Center). The Kristi Lynn Theatre is truly a professional theater, so it's a little funny to see a high school production of B&B. But these kids did a great job and were treated like stars after the production. Claire really wanted to meet Belle, then was so shy when it was her turn. Adorable, isn't it?
It was a terrible picture, but a great evening. The Colin and Brad Show is an evening of improv comedy where people from the audience help play the games. It was at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre- a great facility, by the way. If they come to a town near you, it's worth the money. Amanda says she hadn't laughed that hard for that long for quite a while!
Emily took her yellow belt test today. We won't know for sure if she passed until Monday, but we're all very proud of her and are sure she'll be yellow next week!

We're back from vacation, but the fond memories remain. We had loads of fun and a good amount of rest on Jekyll Island. I can't recommend it enough, especially if you have the chance to go with an expert like June McCash. We learned a lot and enjoyed family time to boot. Go! Soon!

Again, Happy Mother's Day!
Emily had some friends over last night to celebrate turning eight. Boy can little girls get loud and shrill! They were up having fun very late- I believe the "earlybirds" went to sleep around 11:30, but Emily and Sammie (just over Emily's right shoulder) didn't go to sleep until after 1:30 AM! As a party favor, we took this picture and printed it on T-shirts, with all the girls signing the back. Needless to say, they all had loads of fun!

That's what we're saying about our new Nintendo. It's tons of fun! Workouts with Wii Sports and action with Zelda: Twilight Princess, plus news, weather, internet- there's nothing like streaming TV off the web to your, er, TV. But seriously, it's a lot of fun and is quite a different gameplay. Stop by and play a while!
