Talented son, Drew

The next several posts are videos Scott took of Nate and Drew's Youth Center Music Recital which was held on December 10, 2008. In this video Drew is playing "Greensleeves" accompanied by Nate, on the piano. I know Gram, for one, has been waiting for these videos so sit back, close your eyes (some of the videos are a little shaky~ Scott was balancing the video camera and the other camera while I tried to keep Lily off the stage), and enjoy!

The Creative Juices are Flowing....

Here Drew and Nate came up with a little extra for the music recital based upon the movie "August Rush". Maybe when Lily gets a little bigger she can play drums for them. She has already been practicing with the boys' music teacher.

The Spider

This is Drew, in case you can't see him behind the music stand, playing his original piece titled "The Spider". He is accompanied by Nate on piano, and the boys' music teacher, Mr. Garcia, on drums. This was the Christmas recital held December 10, 2008.

Talented son, Nate

The evening of December 10, 2008 the boys participated in the Youth Center's Musical Recital. Here is Nate playing his rendition of "Canon in D".

Spring Recital

On Wednesday evening the youth center on base held their annual Spring Music Recital. Approximately 25 children entertained family and friends with their musical talent showcasing performances on piano, guitar, drums, and vocals. Our own Nate was co-emcee. It was an enjoyable evening. Unfortunately Scott was off island and missed the show but I attempted to videotape the boys' each playing their pieces. Drew performed "Minuet in G" & "The Sailor" on guitar and Nate played "Minuet in G" on piano. Once Scott gets home we'll see if we can post those videos.




Do you think the boys look taller in some of our recent photos? This school year I made a conscious effort to weigh and measure the boys every other month. Here is the comparison from the beginning of school to the ending of school in their height:

Nate
Sept. 07 Height: 58 1/2 inches, June 08 Height: 61 inches

Drew
Sept. 07 Height: 55 1/2 inches, June 08 Height: 57 3/4 inches


Nate grew 2 1/2 inches in 9 months and Drew grew 2 1/4 inches. It's no wonder the boys never have pants that fit for church.


Adoption Update:
We have received our tentative dates as far as when we will be traveling, getting Lilymei, and having our ACS appt. I will post these dates soon but it looks like we will have Lilymei in our arms on July 28, 2008!!!! (Happy Birthday Owen!)
