October - December 2014

Jack's Fall season soccer team won their U10 league. Kate and Anna continued in ballet class, and Anna auditioned for the Lafayette Ballet production of the Nutcracker, receiving two roles this year. The Nutcracker performance will be in January. Jack and Anna got a chance to meet Charlie Walker, a retired NASA Astronaut.  In November, we visited Granny and Grandpa for Thanksgiving, and they visited us in December for an early Christmas. Anna and Jack performed in two piano recitals, and Jack started with indoor soccer. Just after Christmas, we all flew to visit Oma and Grandpa Be-bap in Tucson.
