Ode to Joy.

My eight year old had her first piano recital today.  I barely got the camera turned on before she was finished.  I apologize for the quality of the film, I was too far away.  She did a great job and was incredibly serious.

Other happenings in our household is that there was a coyote in our front yard.  It was about twenty feet away from our cat.  Luckily I saw it and ran yelling out of the house.  It took off at a high-rate of speed.  Now our cats are house-bound and are not happy about it.  Last night one of them peed by the back door.

Question:  Do you say "mow the lawn" or "cut the grass"?  I say the first, but most people around here say the second.  I suppose "cut the grass" is more accurate, since we don't really have a "lawn".  But then, we don't really have grass.  So I am going to start saying "cut the weeds" or "mow the moss".

Still handsome....

Today my son woke up with a very tiny pimple on his temple.  Small.  So small you have to really look for it.

He said, "Oh man!  Now I 'm not handsome anymore."  

Perhaps I need to bring his ego back to earth and not tell him on a daily basis how cute he is.

My daughter is going through a "do-not-take-my-picture-phase" so I can't post a recent picture of her.  My son, however, looks at every event as a photo opportunity.
