StellaVision: Dancing musical fingers caught on video

Memorial School of Music’s annual Christmas recital gave Stella a chance to show off all she’s learned. She was terrific! 

Note from the DaddyGeek: This video was shot with my MimoHD tapeless HD video camera; smaller than a pack of cigarettes. The stream is via the HD streaming service I’m using for the new HomeShow Online website coming live on January 3. The difference in quality between this and older feeds is amazing.

After months of practice, Stella displays her keyboard virtuosity. This is the halfway point of the music school year. Bookmark this page and compare with how she does in May at the end of her lessons.

Officially Daisy

Zuzu receives her official Girl Scout pin as she's inducted as a Daisy during their Christmas party. She's so proud of her Daisy apron and working to get all her Daisy petals… Or, in this case, Zuzu's petals.

Paybacks are hell. And, that's what I was thinking as Stella and I conspired to plan our snack duty for the last girl scout meeting before Christmas break. Instead of juiceboxes and chips, we brought hot cocoa and iced sugar cookies just before sending them home for the evening. Sugar buzz seconds anyone?  

Mark of a good vacation: coming home exhausted

We weren't in the air five minutes when I looked over to find Zuzu zonked out. I'm betting there were visions of MIckey and MInnie dancing in her precious head all the way home to Houston. 

Houston, we’re flying home

Ready for liftoff, the money troop spreads wings and gets ready to fly home to Houston. Zuzu? Check. Stella? Check. John? Check. Kate? Too cool for the room. Regardless, we're gonna light that candle and fly! Having them strapped to seats for three hours will make this the most relaxing time of the whole trip!
