ISB Performs at Disneyland Paris October 2010

Watch the video and look for the girls 49 seconds into it.

Leah and Jennifer go to the coolest school. Their orchestra performed at Disneyland! You can't see them in the video when the entire orchestra is playing but you can see them at the 0:49 mark. Jennifer is wearing a white hat and scarf and Leah is right behind her.

Your opinion please, Martha...

If Martha Stewart reads my blog, then I am sure she would be proud of my Thanksgiving table. Since she probably doesn't (there is always hope!) then my mother will have to weigh in with her opinion. Her name is Martha too and her stamp of approval is much more important!



Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh, it was nothing, really nothing. I just got robbed, ran after the thief and got my wallet back!

I am serius! Last weekend my Indiana friends, Jennifer and Eileen(pictures coming soon) traveled to Paris. We had a great time seeing all the major and minor attractions. While riding the Metro, we were approached by 3 teens who wanted us to sign a pettition. They kept pushing the paper in our laps . We just kept saying "no". Finally they left. Within seconds I realized my wallet was missing from my purse.
I jumped up and started to run after them. Fast.
I opened train doors and ran through 3 cars knocking down a woman on my way.
In the third car I saw them ready to exit the train at the next stop.
I screamed, "Stop him! He has my wallet!!!"
A man grabbed two of the guys by the back of the coat.
The robber threw my wallet over his shoulder. It landed at my feet!
The train doors opened and they escaped.
I had my wallet with everything still inside!

That was the most exhausting 10 seconds of my enter life. I GOT ROBBED BUT I GOT MY WALLET BACK! Amazing.

This story is so much better in person because I have great hand motions to go with it. Just ask me. I would be happy to tell the story again!

Finally an update!

I have a really good excuse for not blogging. WE HAVE BEEN BUSY!!!!! Right after my last post about German bread, we left Belgium and traveled to

While we were there we got to seeand Nana and Grandpa and Grandma too! Leah and Jenn even trick-or-treated with their pals from the neighborhood. But our real purpose was to see and all of her wonderful new friends. We missed her so much! She was very gracious and let us get a good picture of what college life is really like. She even hosted
in her college dorm room and showed them what it is really like to be a college freshman. They loved the cafeteria food. We spent almost all our time at
