Abby Christmas Choir Concert

Abby had her school Christmas Choir Concert tonight. She looked beautiful and sang lovely!

Andrew's School Project

Andrew and two of his classmates, Bailey and Connor (hence ABC), worked on a school project today. I guess it relates to starting their own business. They filmed video on our "green screen" and then I helped Andrew edit the video according to his specifications. Here is the finished product (the final DVD includes a blooper reel that l is longer than the actual video). I guess they have to submit a business plan along with it later this week.

Abby Choirs Concert

On Thursday evening, Abby had her Fall Choirs Concert. Here are a few short highlights from her enthusiastic performance ...

Back to School - 2009

The kids went back to school today. Abby started 8th grade - big kid in junior high; Andrew started 5th grade - big kid in middle school. Here are a few photos Karen took this morning of Abby, Andrew and a few of the neighbor kids waiting for the bus.

Kevin gets Anchored

Since we were having too much trouble with Kevin (our inflatable water trampoline) floating to shore, we decided to anchor him down yesterday. He is now a semi-permanent fixture in the center of Lake Frogerick.

Campfire Medleys

Here are some final clips from the past two weeks in Michigan. One campfire medley and one rockin' old folks home performance.

Spring Hill Camps

Hello Mudder; Hello Fudder ... Here are a few clips of Andrew and cousin Jacob being dropped off and picked up from Summer camp two weeks ago. They did "extreme sports" in Copper Country at Spring Hill Camps. No footage of Abby and Emily this year, but they went last week (they did horses in New Frontiers).

Lake Miramichi

Here are some video clips of the kids having fun at the Ott Cabin in Lake Miramichi.



(Starring Abby, Andrew; cousins Emily, Erica, Jacob, Chloe, and Claire)

I Will Pump You Up!

Remember the old Saturday Night Live clip Pumping Up with Hanz and Franz? Here is Andrew's impersonation (compliments of a powerful hot tub jet).

Lake Frogerick Fun

Despite the cool air temperature, Andrew went swimming with an alligator in Lake Frogerick today (along with some of the neighborhood kids).

Newsroom Quickie

Hollywood Four Newsroom wildlife editions brought to you by Andrew.

Crazy Hair Day

Andrew had "crazy hair day" at school today. So this is what he ended up with (thanks to Karen's help). Definitely not a proud father moment buy, hey, it was crazy hair day I guess.

When You're Bothered By A Fly

That's the name of this video that Abby and Andrew created today in front of Andrew's "webcam." However - a more appropriate title might be "Silly things we can do at home when we have a snow day from school."
