1. T's orchestra recital/solo performances; each of the kids got to choose a piece or two to perform; he was the only one (other than kids who played scales) who had his song memorized!

2. Found out that it will only cost $250 to get the gigantic birch tree taken down (it's the one infected by Carpenter ants last year; dying bit-by-bit; G. keeps climbing up and cutting down the dead branches, but now there's some over the house and the driveway and...) p.s. if you click on the photo to enlarge it, you can see the radon pipe sticking out of the roof, too
3. T. had a good well-child check; he's 89#, 56 3/4" and got the varicella vaccine with no tears!
