Taylor performs in concert!

Taylor had his first recital with his new teacher, Jerald Simon on September 28, 2010. His teacher calls it a concert and it actually was a concert with a jazz combo performing up front for entertainment. One of his students was a member of the combo. They were 9th graders and phenomenal musicians! IMG_0524  Taylor played Summer Skies and Sea Fever. Both were composed by Jerald Simon. Take a moment and view the video and see Tay in action!

Tay finishes cycling merit badge!

Over the summer, Tay has gone on 2-10 mile bike rides; 2-15 mile bike rides; and 2- 25 mile bike rides.  We have gone on most of those with him as a family!

IMG_0514 Moe joined the group for the last ride Tay needed to get his cycling merit badge!  After 2 flat tires on this ride, and lots of walking to get the bikes fixed, we finished the ordeal!@<>

Pigeon baby update

DSC_4417

Our baby pigeons grew up and flew away!  This picture was taken a few weeks before they flew off.  In the meantime, the mother laid 2 new eggs and they have now hatched!  The new pigeons are very light gray and should fly off in 4-6 weeks!
