I’ve posted many videos of Emma over the past few years as she’s progressed with her piano lessons. What you haven’t seen much of is Henry. He’s turned into quite the little musician, too.

In mid-January Henry, Emma and I joined the rest of Cub Scout Pack 28 for a weekend trip to Camp Marin Sierra, just inside the Tahoe National Forrest a few hours to the east of us.

A few weeks ago we spent the afternoon with the Cub Scouts shooting off rockets. What a blast!

On the way home from our visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Henry and I stopped at Marina State Beach.

Henry has only been in Cub Scouts for a few months but our list of activities keeps piling up.
“Daddy, can we go home now? I’m cold,” says Henry after plowing straight into the water. Sounds just like my first visit to the Pacific 20 years ago… Some lessons can only be learned first hand.

We were in Georgia for Henry’s 6th birthday a few weeks ago and had a small, understated party. That’s a big difference from the bowling extravaganza we had last year. What’s that?

It’s almost time for soccer to start again in 2010… so I guess I’d better show you how awesome Henry was in 2009, eh? His AYSO team last year was the Blue Thunder and was filled with many first-timers.

I played hooky from work one day to go with Henry’s pre-school class to Centennial Farm at the OC Fairgrounds. Â His teacher, Mrs. Carrie, laid down the ground rules prior to us entering the farm and then we were off!
