American Idol, look out!

I found this old clip recently of Mark and Hannah each singing a song. When Hannah sings her ABC song, she (age 3) is distracted by her new doll and the shoes. Listen & enjoy!

Piano lessons...

Mark is taking piano and learning his first few songs. He took group lessons last year for music theory and technique (notes and rhythm). That same group of boys are all taking individual lessons now and playing songs to the written music. He is enjoying it immensely and loves his awesome teacher, Beth. So Beth, if you're listening... here's Mark. He also just asked me if we could buy a piano just like the one at church (the Kurzweil). OH NO!! We're in trouble!

Upward Basketball

This was Mark's (and our) first stab at joining a basketball team. We have a local Upward Basketball league. We are thoroughly impressed with their approach to teaching the younger boys the sport. Here's a video of Mark playing and actually making a basket! Shoot 2!!!! Way to go Marko!
