Family Home Evening

Playing a game for Family Home Evening in Jewel's room...
Making the sacrifice to spend one or so hours together, once a week has made for some lasting memories. Even the fighting & teasing before the lesson will be treasured one day when all that is left are memories of our children!

School days, school days, dear old golden school days!

Dakota seated before his performance with the Rutgers University Choir. He sang with combined choirs in the Nicholas Performing Arts Center. It was a wonderful family treat! Daniel came especially to hear the Samuel Barber piece (Dakota is holding and praticing) Daniel sang this piece years ago with his school choir.

Andrew, Mr. Jan & Jewel giving a rollerskating demonstration for the after school program.

The terrific trio after rehearsing...

gratitude thoughts: grateful that Jewel & Dakota enjoy simple activities that their parents did in their childhood..like skating and singing (as opposed to texting, facebook, nintendo ds, wii sports, dance dance revolution, etc...)

grateful for healthy children...

grateful for grandparents who help us in supporting the activities and interests of their grandkids....we love them so much!
