A play in French in Kansas? No way! What an awesome way to celebrate Molière's 400th birthday this year.
 |
| An original play that had us all laughing: "M the Molière" |
 |
| All dressed up for a night at the theater with French friends Isabelle & Marie-Pierre. |
 |
| Amélia, Isabelle, Christèle, Alan & Maman |
Alex, Sophie and Papa drove up to Lincoln for the day to celebrate aunt Linda's dad's 90th birthday.
 |
| Happy birthday to firefighter Jack! |
Look who turns 12 today! Happy birthday, sweet Sophie!
 |
| When the flowers bloom, it means one thing: Sophie's birthday is near! Yeah! |
 |
| All the animals (and family members) are present to open presents (no pun intended)! |
 |
| I made a wish list for Papa. Has he gotten me what I wanted? |
| Someone is in the dog house (again)... |
 |
| After waiting for 2 years, Sophie made it back to her favorite all-you-can-eat Italian buffet restaurant to fill up on pasta & pizza. Life is good again! |
 |
| Cute Minecraft fox lego set. |
 |
| Happy birthday, Sophie - from near and far! |
Let's go to the garage to help Papa fix the pinball machine.
 |
| So many cables coming out of everywhere! |
 |
| Sophie would rather roller skate. |
 |
| If we hide on the roof, do you think Papa will forget about us helping out?!? |
| I'm not coming up, Alex. I'm just skating! |
Maman got to travel to Las Vegas for a conference. Kids, we're definitely not in Kansas anymore...
 |
| Ready to travel for business again: leggings and Yellow gear it is! |
 |
| Sunrise from the Aria hotel room. |
 |
| View from the 64th floor of the Delano lounge. |
 | |
| Now my favorite part of the strip: the Bellagio. |
 |
| Dale Chihuly's “Fiori Di Como” in the lobby of Bellagio is simply stunning. |
 |
| Enter the Bellagio's conservatory & botanical garden |
 |
| with its thousands of flowers on display. |
 |
| Maman could stay here for a while. |
 |
| The displays are so peaceful and inspiring. |
 |
| Now, the rest of the strip is far less inspiring. |
 |
| Casinos everywhere. |
 |
| And a half-size Eiffel tower. |
Sophie participated in her first East Area Band Festival.
 |
| Percussionists getting ready. |
 |
| 5th graders thru high school bands combined. |
| 6th grade combined band playing "Banana Boat Song" by Bruce Pearson |
| 6th graders' "Popcorn Prelude" by Michael Hannickel |
| All bands playing "America" arranged by John Selzer |
