Mr. Adventure
Can you believe this boy? Here is Jake’s latest trick, just starting today. I about had a heart attack the first time he attempted it, because he’s been faking me out with pretend nosedives off the side. He sure is an adventuresome little sprig. If he could figure out how to get atop the highest point of the couch, no doubt he’d be dropping over the side from THAT height. I think he needs a rappelling set for his birthday…
Piano lessons
Mira is making progress.
Mira’s first piano recital
Mira had her first piano recital tonight. She’s been taking lessons for just a few months. We’re very proud of her performances tonight! She was very poised and professional for being so new to it. 
Now watch her perform!
Baby on the move
I still can’t get over how active this boy is! Here is is 7 months and cruising around his exersaucer. There are some speed crawling bits in here, too. 
Multiply life by the power of two
Thinking (sentimentally) of my wonderful hubby as Valentine's Day approaches:
You know the things that I am afraid of
I'm not afraid to tell
And if we ever leave a legacy
It's that we loved each other well……Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two.>> Full lyrics
I love you, sweetie. I thought you might enjoy this romantic song – it even has a little math geek twist!
I’m a white and nerdy geek in pink
Just feeling silly. Both of these songs/videos are great fun. Catchy tunes and awesome lyrics. I dig songs that glorify smart.
Yummy!
But nevertheless, he's about to get some serious radio play and I, for one, can't wait 'til my station is all oversaturated with his sound (sorry, my amazing husband – I can hear you groaning from here )
The face of autism
I love these videos my bestest friend and biz partner made to celebrate her little boy, age 5, who has autism. He is just AMAZING!
Here's the story — well, the first five years — in the life of Quinn: a wonderful, exuberant, mostly non-verbal boy with autism. You can see how the signs appeared over time, even before his diagnosis was made at 21 months. Music from Rob Dickinson/Catherine Wheel (www.RobDickinson.com)
A 5-year-old boy with autism, chased around with a video camera to capture some of the things he writes. (Quinn thinks this video is *hilarious* — has me play the Pixar scene over and over for him.)
HM sings!
She’s trying to land a small solo part in the musical the 4th grade is putting on in February. They’ve been working hard on a bunch of different songs. Here’s a sample!
(I love this camera!!)
