The art director is doing such a good job: it's really gone from being amateur to almost pro, last night was the school Christmas play. I was astounded that my kids performed so well. The confidence and enthusiasm bubbled over in Rachel. (She looked adorable in Nathan's old Dalmatian costume). They love to sing, and they also got to show some of their gymnastics skills, Levi and Lila also had fun on stage.
Levi has become crazy about tennis.  He quit doing gymnastics, but goes to the tennis clinic practically every afternoon.  He will do extremely well. He enjoy's any sport with a ball, he is turning out to be an all around athlete. (A mutual friend in the neighborhood who played collegiate baseball, would always comment on our six-year-olds amazing throwing arm, while they played catch, and when he was just a little older he only ever had an interest in shooting hoops.) It was golf this past summer.  But we've been trying to steer him towards tennis for years. It's something that we can all do as a family (whereas my basketball and baseball days are long gone). Our city tennis center got a new pro, Eric, who's REALLY good, and not only is Levi now inspired, but Mimi and I are starting to play more again too.
