The Adventures of
David
Elizabeth
and Leif

A few bars…

November 4th, 2007

You may know that I’m a choreographer and I’m working on a new show right now to be performed in NY and Atlanta this 2008…A friend of mine is composing the music for this piece (a first for me!), and last month the musicians came over for a first look at everything before going into the studio to record. It was a very exciting night!

Here is Evan, the composer, on accordion; Zach on violin, Rolf on guitar (me on ears…)…

Leif was very curious and impressed…

“Look at THOSE cool toys!!!”

The wonderful Rolf; the wonderful snack on the coffee table…not that I needed to bribe these guys to play amazingly!

Matt in action…a photo cannot adequately capture his “game face.” It’s great.

Zach and Rolf, and the illustrious composition.

Miss us? (And Townsend, TN)

November 1st, 2007

So we’ve been incredibly lazy about blogging lately. Maybe it’s because of Leif (he’s walking), or RIBS (Elizabeth’s other baby!). A lot has happened in the 3 months since the last post. Instead of trying to catch up majorly all at once, I’m going to let Angie tell you about our awesome Christmas in Mexico. At least for now.

I’m going to tell you about a fun trip to visit Pop and Kevin in Townsend, TN in October. Yes, that’s a really long time ago, but it was a blogworthy trip, so here goes!

Pop and Kevin invited us to crash Kevin’s family reunion, so we hopped on a great, comfortable JetBlue flight from NYC to Nashville and drove about 4 hours to Townsend TN. Leif was fine for the flight, but didn’t really approve of the long car ride after that. We got in really late … the next morning, we woke to a beautiful scene …

and Pop and Kevin’s smiling faces!

After a brief period of adjustment to his new surroundings …

… Leif got a chance to warm up to Grandpop.

We spent a lot of time on the porch looking at Mount LaConte in the distance.

While there, Leif made a new friend — Dalton.

“What the heck? We’re surrounded by grownups! Do you have to go to these things all the time?”

“Hey, watch this. I just discovered the glass coffee table over there … ”

Now the grownups are looking!

What trip would be complete without a drive in Pop’s new high-tech car up to low-tech Cade’s Cove?

There was a dramatic sky up over the Smokeys.

Once back at the cabin, we discovered that Leif might be called to be a conductor:

I’ll leave you with a picture of Pop in one of his favorite pastimes — involving amazing displays of cunning and dexterity. And a few smeared flies.
