Some Jack things

My parents came up for a fun, if hurried weekend to see the musical. The kids did great! The final performance was postponed due to heavy snow on Saturday. At least we were able to rush up Friday to see it. I couldn't make it to the moved finale last night because I was working late and on call.

There was one casualty to the weekend. Jack's beloved gift from Brian, a Bumblebee Transformer, was left behind in my parents' car. Luckily they discovered it and mailed it back right away. Jack was dramatically distraught when he learned his Bumblebee ("Bubby") took a trip with the grumpies. He received it yesterday and, except for sleeping, it hasn't left his hand. I recorded him talking about it and reading the enclosed pictogram-letter this morning.



 There's a new Disney series I'm excited about. They are making 19 shorts in the classic 1930s style to bring Mickey back in a starring role for the company. The first one is out and you can watch it here. I found it charming and impressive that they decided to speak French without subtitles. Jack watched it and found it hilarious. He was very concerned that the motorcycles crashed.

Jack tried to use his camera but the memory card was full! That finally got me to upload his latest batch of photography. You can see them in the set on flickr, labeled Feb-March 2013. Here are a few of my favorites.
