Emmas italienisches Leben, Teil 1

Sammy's card for Mama

Sammy has been an awesome kid since he and I have been on our own in ABQ.  Of course we miss K & E very much (all the time) but it has been to Skype every day with them.  Recently Sammy made this beautiful card for his mama, which I thought I'd share with everyone:

Concerts last weekend

It took a few days but here are some videos from last week's concert life in ABQ:

 

And then there was the performance of Emma's Song.  The video has three pieces by Emma's cello group (she wasn't there this time of course) but her piece starts at 1:45.

Science Fair

Sammy got to his "Obermüller" roots today by building a water wheel for his science fair project.  It successfully lifted a crayon, a large eraser and half-lifted a pig-in-a-minecart.  It went surprisingly well and Sam declared it was his favorite science fair project ever (along with the one from last year, which he points out is the only other science fair project he's ever done).  

 

conversation

Emma's friend to Emma: "Why do you have to put sunscreen on when you go outside?"

Emma: "I don't know, my parents are crazy."

Mama: "Germans are like that, they're crazy."

Emma's friend to Emma: "You're not German at all, you're not crazy."
