Sophie started rehearsing for "Annie" this week. The orphans learned 2 songs and the choreography for 1 song. Here's what has Becky doing handstands about play practice: it's WORK! Becky loves anything that makes Sophie work hard. Seven weeks to go until the show opens.


Gibson was promoted from his high chair to a booster seat a few months ago and has been eating on real dishes since then. This week, he wanted a napkin at dinnertime and was so pleased to have a napkin on his lap like the rest of us.


Helen wanted her photo taken, too. Wait a minute. Is that her napkin on the back of her chair? Fortunately, we have approximately 5,320 family dinners to practice manners before she heads off to college.


We've had Elder M. to dinner several times, but he surprised us Saturday night with his impressive piano skills. He's virtually a virtuoso. His companion says he shows off all the time, but this was our first time to hear his talent.
