We had a bit of family drama this weekend, but probably not the kind you’re expecting. Rather, it was the culmination of many hours of effort on the part of Julia and a couple dozen other kids leading up to the school play, The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood. Julie went to the premiere Thursday night, and the whole family made it to the final show Saturday afternoon.

Julia played two minor speaking roles—a fawning lady and the guard—and the cast was filled with various friends and acquaintances; one of Joe’s old friends, Lucas, played Little John. Julia had a great time working on the play, despite the long hours of rehearsals, and though it will be nice to get her evenings back, I’m sure she would tell you it was worth it. The spring show is a musical; we’ll see if either kid decides to give that a shot.

The older kids’ school pictures finally came in, as well. I’ve included small copies below, but you can find the full-sized versions in their respective galleries.
