This time the kids provide the music

Videos of the piano recital I missed. I mean, how cute are they? Virtuosos, to be sure. Enjoy! Come on, they are VERY, VERY SHORT.




Despite multiple, multiple tries, I cannot get any other videos to load. You lucked out.

Go ahead and jump!

Well, I was going to be a smart-alek and start this blog with all the trampoline injury statistics. And talk about my friend Terri, whose 4 year-old daughter Kate just broke her leg on the trampoline last week. But then I actually started reading said statistics and I got very nervous. Because look what we inherited from our Finnish neighbors moving back home:



We'll call you soon from the emergency room.

Kindergarten Barnyard Moosical



Back in Doha, just in time for the big Kindergarten musical. John was required to wear a plain pink shirt for this. I was convinced I wouldn't find one on time (I did, amazingly enough) and that he wouldn't wear it (he did, amazingly enough) and then wouldn't participate (which, again, he did, amazingly enough). Apparently I don't give him or myself enough credit.

Random thoughts from Doha

So, nothing's happening. Oh, I could have posted Paint-your-face-day pictures, or Splash Day pictures, or..... but I didn't go to those events at school. I've had sick kids home 6 out of the last 11 days. It's been a long 2 weeks at the Dickerson villa.

But finally, everyone is well. I got to go back to Arabic lessons. I volunteered for Pegasus Club and PTA next year. I've dropped tennis for now, but hope to pick it back up in the fall, along with golf.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of Kaylie and Scott's soccer parties and the Elementary School Swim meet that was held before Spring Break. Yes, way behind.

Oh, also some pictures from Scott's birthday shindig, which was..... let's see, March 27. The party, not his birthday.
