Learning To Speak... Chinese!

Eden and I have been learning to speak Chinese from a very dear and old friend of our family's.  It has been very fun!
After my first lesson, I was elated to have numbers 1 through 20 memorized in Chinese!  That night, I showed my family my work.  Of course they insisted that they "film me doing that".

Well--as they say, "the rest is history"!

Enjoy!

Drum roll please...

New Years Day and Beyond!

For New Years Day, our family celebrated by going to a concert performed by the Bisceglia Family and the Whispering Roses.  We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the concert very much!

Here we all are after the concert (and after the cleanup!).

Judah especially enjoyed seeing his friend Noah!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But of course the celebrations weren't finished!  For in our house we celebrate Birthdays and Holidays for weeks!!!  (Sometimes...)

We enjoyed celebrating the New Year (again) at an Irish Ceili a few days later.

Here's a short video of us dancing!

Enjoy! 

And Happy New Year!

Some Manly History

Recently, Judah found a picture in a coloring book of a soldier he wanted to color.  Since the picture was already colored we decided to make a life-size- Judah-model of the French Soldier.

Here's the finished product (or rather nearly finished--we still have to make a helmet)~
