Scooting to school

A first....made it all the way today.

Hugo and the erhu

Mike sent this the other day of Hugo playing a Chinese erhu.  Apparently Hugo saw a man playing it, was curious, and the man let him have a shot at it.  Great picture.

Class K Graduation - Hooray for Hugo

Prior to the graduation we were told two things:  1) send in a white shirt and white shorts for Hugo to "practice" with and 2) come in disguise and sit in the back.  Although we were curious about the first request, we completely understood the second.  If Hugo recognized us during the show, he'd loose his squash and the show would be over, at least for him, and us.

Here's Mommy in disguise and sitting in the back,
waiting for the show to start.

Here's the start of the show. See Hugo on the far left.
The other teachers sat behind, to help keep the
children on task.  They do great work.

Here's Hugo, answering a question.  The show also featured
matching, greeting, and singing about the "Sailors and Sea" theme

Of course, Hugo thought he spotted us and started to fuss.
So Mommy, Daddy, and Uncle Mike had to sit behind
a curtain.  We peaked in occasionally to see the show.

When the show was over, Hugo was so happy and relieved to see us
he started to cry. Big Hug from Mommy.  Hugo won "best hugs"
in his class.

Mommy removing the sailor garb after the show.
Still a bit upset, but...

...chocolate chip cookies make things better.

So does a party with confetti!  Here playing with Uncle Mike.

Hooray for Hugo!  We are all so proud of you!

Evening workout with Uncle Mike

We have Uncle Mike in town visiting us and the boys are having a ball!  Here's the action from a few nights ago—full of beans as you can see!  Also, Dash is in underwear!  That's right, he's potty trained :).
