Legally Blonde: The Musical

Miss Ciara completed a triumphant run as Professor Callahan in Alverno High School's production of "Legally Blonde: The Musical!" earlier this month.  Auntie Kat flew out from KY to see her on Opening Night.

AHS Winter Formal

The theme for this year's Winter Formal was...
"An Evening Aboard the Titanic"

Here's hoping it wasn't the last evening aboard the Titanic.

January 2014 - AHS Winter Concert

Mid-January, the week before semester finals is not exactly the optimal time to have a Choral Concert, but the Harvest Concert slated for November was bumped to January.  It was a beautiful night of song.

Unfortunately, no pictures of Brendan as he had a very rough night :(

Hoping this works... Ciara singing

Fillin in... Fall 2013

I did manage a First Day Back to School post, so this is what happened after that beautiful day...

Ciara went to the Quinceañera (at Luminaria's) of a very good friend of hers from elementary school.

In October 2013, Ciara participated in Inauguration at Alverno where she was sworn in as a Supreme Court Justice.

Also in October, Brendan and I attended Founders Day at Alverno.

Áine's summer 2013 was filled with getting fitted for a scoliosis brace, more EEG testing, and cardiac testing.  Always a trooper!
