May 2025 - Kids' Activities, Etc.

Lauren and her ballet teacher Yasmine...
This is Yasmine's last day before moving to another part of Italy. There were lots of tears by coach and students
Hudson playing at piano recital
Trying on their outfits for the show...so elegant

One of Lauren's dances (she was in 11 this year)
Heading out to see her perform.
The tickets were 2 together in the "good" seats and 4 in the "other" seats. Katherine and I got the good ones ;)

She did all of this dancing on a broken foot! She broke it in rehearsal but that was NOT going to stop her from performing.





Afterwards (yes, she has a suitcase for all of those costume changes)









Hudson, on his way to his recital. WE needed to take the train...and mom got to YouTube how to tie a tie!



on teh way to Katherine's last tennis class for the schoolyear


It's a little harder to get photos of the class through the fence, but I still tried :)



 
and then the Etc part of the blog...there was an electrical fire under the ground right by our house. The first sign was that everyone lost internet. Then smoke starting pouring out of manhole covers. It took all day and all night to get it resolved....and another 2 weeks to restore internet...and just FYI the holes will be there until at least Sept 15 because no more outside work is allowed due to heat....the only hole temporarily covered is the one shown in the photo...which si a good thing because that is a one way street to our parking garage and police station
pulling out all the burned wires


replacing lines
The mess we woke up to
and teh traffic jam it caused!
no power for us

we had a bird's eye view of all the excitement
smoke
calling in extra help to break through the road once they realized the manhole cover got paved over...oops
