Sam has been working hard and growing his music skills. In orchestra, they had the chance to perform a song of their choice. Sam worked on the Godzilla theme for his cello. He performed it as a solo in front of a packed auditorium! I wasn’t able to attend, so Ben took this video for me. He did amazing!

On the piano, Sam has been practicing a piece called “Village Dance:”

Lastly, his whole 5th grade had to perform a mini musical. It was a very corny musical about zombies. Sam did a great job! He put his costume together and did the choreography very well. He had a featured part where he “tangos” with his friend. I took some close-up videos of him:

If you want to watch the whole 30 minute show, his teacher uploaded it here:

Here are lots of photos of other moments this year so far. Ugh, it loaded them in reverse-chronological order. Oh well! We’ll go backwards in time, and I’ll mix some up to match photo orientation, so it’s totally out of order!

Just a quick post to share our quiet birthdays at home.

Ben celebrated his 43rd year with cake and presents.

And I did the same for my 42nd! We also went out to dinner at Red Robin – hot fries and burgers are a special treat! I busted out a puzzle gift and worked on it all week.
