Sound of Music (Anna's turn) and Dutch family visiting

Our family life has been very busy lately, which explains why I've barely even gotten around to posting photos. Busy is really an understatement. My Outlook calendar is running on overtime and if it weren't for Outlook, I don't think I'd remember half the places I need to be.



This past month, John Michael has had an explosion in speech and communication.  I've compiled a list of words and word approximations, and will post an update in the next few days. For now, here are some family photos.  Above, big sis, Anna, with John Michael. This is his "show me your teeth" smile.
John Michael and Granny (great-grandmother) from Holland after Mass. I was pregnant with John Michael the last time she came to visit, so it's nice for her to see how wonderful this little guy is in person.

Proud great-grandmother moment -- her eldest great-grandson, Nicolas, as altar server.


Big sis, Greta, and John Michael give the best hugs!


John Michael taking time out to smell the flowers with his great-uncle Piet from Holland.

And finally, some photos of Anna as Louisa in various scenes from The Sound of Music last week.

The Goatherd song

The von Trapp children singing "So Long, Farewell" to the party-goers.

The children singing for "Uncle" Max before Maria returns...

Festival scene where the von Trapp children, Maria and the Captain sing their farewells and ultimately make their escape over the hills to Switzerland via the Abbey.

Nicolas as Rolf in the Sound of Music

Nicolas takes on the role of Rolf in the Sound of Music for 4 performances this week.
I'm so proud of him!  This is a precious scene right after he sings "You are Sixteen Going on Seventeen" to Liesl.  Makes me teary every time!



Not so sweet anymore... Rolf has turned away from his Austrian heritage and is warning Maria and Liesl that if they know what's "good for them" they'll encourage Captain von Trapp to follow suit.
 
My daughter, Anna, plays Louisa in the play.  I hope to get some good photos of her and all the awesome costume changes soon!
If you're local, you can still see the full Broadway version of the musical tomorrow and Friday night at 6pm.
