Patience

I often think that I am married to the most patient person on the face of the earth, and here's proof.

Ballet Heaven

Gracie is gearing up for her performance as a bluebird in Beauty and the Beast. This is her first ever tutu, and she is in Ballet bliss! Notice the curls! When Grace's ballet teacher anounced that they must wear their hair "curly, half up, half down," a cold chill swept over me, and I had to sit down. All my life I have considered the use of hair curlers akin to singing in public. To be avoided!! Thankfully, I have a very kind friend, Chantal, who came over and gave me a tutorial in curling hair.
Yesterday Grace had her "official" photos taken, and I was grouchy all day, I was so nervous about that hair! It turned out pretty well in the end, I guess, and Grace was so happy with it.
I love the close-up photo here. Looking into her eyes, I see my sister, Alice. Ah, how I miss her!

Sunny Sunday

Today was stake conference (a meeting held every six months with all the congregations in our stake - similar to a diocese) and we were ready in time to take a few snaps before we left home. Opportunities when we are all wearing clean, Sunday-best clothes and none of us have vegemite or sauce on our faces (Rich is the worst in this regard) need to be taken advantage of.

Pool Day

The weather is warming up and we are spending more time outdoors. Lovely.

Josie's Favourite Hat

Europe 2008

Two weeks ago Rich went to Europe for work. He also managed to see some interesting things/people, including:

• His nephew Quintal in front of Big Ben (had a nice visit)


• A Berlin motorcyclist with fluffy bunny ears stuck on his helmet


• London nachos served with fries (chips) on top

Fun Videos

Here are some of our favourite videos at the moment:

Dog steals food

Two people get stuck on escalator

Interpreter

Our kind of Maths

Sandwich stealer

Web 2.0

This is a fascinating video clip about Web 2.0. The speaker, Clay Shirky, wrote Here Comes Everybody and is a new media guru.

Golf in St George

After a long winter it was great to play golf again. This was the first game of spring, at St George in southern Utah. I played with three friends from work.
