Claire's solo at HOF

Here is Claire's solo from Hall of Fame. I hope to upload it from Odyessy because she performed a little better there, but I can't find the DVD. :(

A bunch of stuff, including Mother's Day

I am so bad about updating my blog! School is almost out so it is a busy time of year for Claire. This week she has field day, plus she is getting ready for the school musical next week. In dance, the recital is fast approaching. The studio is separating out the ballet this year so we have to attend three recitals in one day! Claire is in the ballet and the evening show and Jacob will be in the afternoon show. I am a little worried about Jacob's show because as far as I know he has yet to actually do either of his dances in class. Don't get me wrong, Miss Jenny has taught them the dances, Jacob just won't do them...well...what can I say!

I also haven't updated on the European trip as promised. Today I am posting a picture of the Houses of Parliament. We went in and actually got to watch part of a session. It was great! They called each other names, but with their accents it still sounds dignified! Also, there were protesters camped out across the street.




Mother's Day was really nice. Jacob made me a candle at school and Claire made me a candle holder. It wasn't even coordinated! Jacob did not want to give me the candle though, he wanted to keep it and he told me he made the candle holder, not Claire. He did tell me he made it at Claire's school though. hmmm....should I worry he is such a story teller already. They also (with Alberto) got me a gift card to Caribou Coffee which is exactly what I wanted! We went to the zoo that day. It was so crowded but we had a lot of fun so it was worth it! Here is a picture showing that 11 Claire may finally be taller than a penguin! :) Jacob maybe taller than the little penguin. I think they are both in trouble height wise!
