All that jazz

Geo had another jazz recital and had a solo in Red Clay.

Spring drum recital

Geo played Downupbeat by a Japanese fusion group called Casiopea.

Elina

We have yet another addition to our family. Meet Elina, a gift from H's ex-girlfriend. She is a Jellycat "Bashful Bunny" and H got custody of her after the breakup. She came to visit some colleges with us this week.

Bjorn the Shark

When H and G got their IKEA sharks, they made up some lore about them. Sherlock is Snoopy's father, and Bjorn is Sherlock's father. Bjorn's father is also named Snoopy. They use patronyms, so it's Bjorn Snoopyson, Sherlock Bjornson, and Snoopy Sherlockson.

M promised to buy a "chubby XXXL" shark from Amazon if Geo got into the highest orchestra at his school. Geo got into the orchestra so now we have this ridiculous shark that is 4 feet long. Meet Bjorn.

H is 18!

How could our cute smiley baby be an adult already? 😭 Here is a collection of photos from roughly every year of his life so far.

 

Nerd alert

H was selected as a candidate for the Presidential Scholar program.

He is also a National Merit Finalist. 🤓

Jazzercise

Geo has been playing drums in a jazz ensemble this past fall and had his final performance today.
