Trailer

Here's a trailer I put together to tease you for what should be coming soon -- the full movie. It's a little belated, but I just now found the footage of our trip out so am starting to put some stuff together. Enjoy!

First Recital

Today the boy's had their first piano recital. We made a YouTube video of it, which you can see here. But first, a couple of pictures you don't see in the video (and a couple you do!):

Getting ready:





We all wore our new shoes today:

Miles was exhausted after his performance! He slept through most of the rest!



Hope you like the video!

When peacocks attack...

Here's an article that had Kristal and I laughing tonight. You might have to sign up for an account to read it, unfortunately. Apparently a free-roaming peacock at the Oregon Zoo "attacked" a toddler. While the child did suffer some pretty brutal scratches, I wonder how much of this was prompted by some kid getting up in the peacock's grill...

Apparently this is not the first time it has happened. This was from an incident in 2006:

“We were next to the tigers when the peacock came up… it goes down to get a piece of purple candy and my son stepped towards the peacock and it jumped up on him and grabbed my son on both shoulders with its talons and stuck its beak into his chest,” said Shane Woodward.

Talons... :-)

Anyways, Zoo Director Tony Vecchio knows what to do:

"I've told the staff to round this peacock up and we'll put him in a time-out for a while until we figure out what to do next."

Yes, a time out for the peacock. That should do the trick!
