Web page update!!!

New new new. I changed the layout and the colors (the scheme that Liz will use with various shades for every room in our house eventually). I also added a running RSS line with snippets on the right side, so if your traffic spikes, it's me. Busy week and more updates/news to come.

Hontas 2008

The hontas, depending on who you ask , is Armenian for "poem" "graduation" or "recital." It is the year end celebration of Armenian school, with songs, dances and speeches/lectures, all in Armenian. It is a little fascist (see video one if you don't believe me) or ethnic pride, depenind on your point of view.. But our girls got up on stage and did their thing. A long Saturday night but a good time.

Pre-show:

Josie's pre-k class/her first year.
















Maddy is, of course, an old pro. Her class opened the show, left for Josie's, and then returned for a one-two punch, including the Armenian National Anthem (see videos).
