Here's NATE!

Nathan is now officially a 2nd Grader, he made straight A's through the WHOLE year! Nate has been busy playing baseball, when it is not raining, I think we got about 5 games in out of 12. He has finally learned how to ride his bike, I didn't think that would ever happen, but we are all riding the trail now! For the summer he is enjoying the new Slip n Slide at the Weavers, swimming while his sister watches and attending CLO (musical theatre) and Science Camp. The acting bug has bit him good, he is loving CLO camp, they are going to be performing You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. I will post pics soon!

Gene Kelly Awards 2010

Unfortunately, CAPA did not win a Kelly award this year. Our show was a little too serious in comparison to all the other nominees, even though the acting and singing was amazing. Erica did get to sing on the Benedum stage once again.

All About Erica Jean!

So yes, Erica is now an official Junior!! I didn't think she was going to make it alive, but she did and was even able to squeeze some good grades out of a really rough year! Here are some highlights: inducted into the National Honor Society, completed her 2nd high school musical, performed in the Gene Kelly Awards at the Benedum Center, sang 2 AWESOME solo's in her Musical Theatre Recitals and best yet, completed her Lifeguard training, passed and is NOW a lifeguard at Schenley Park Pool! Looking forward to a great year ahead!

CAPA Arts Jam!

Do you see Jonathan?

My Bowl Nate's Bowl


Erica's school had it's first annual Arts Jam. There was an Open mic for poetry readings, a Jazz concert going on in the Cabaret Theatre, Flower Pot Painting, Pottery, Karate and Dance lessons. It was a great event we had fun, WE being Nate, Jonathan and me. Where was Erica you ask?? Oh.. there was a free concert a few blocks away from her school so she went to that. :)

Pittsburgh Marathon 2010

One lonely pic... too wet for pictures today!

It was a very WET, HUMID day for a marathon, but we still went out to cheer on the 17,000 runners!! This year we hung out with Nate's school, check out the new link over to the right, Pgh Marathon - South Side... pay close attention and you will see Nate's noggin 2 times in the line up of kids giving the runners high 5's!! The runners were excited to see them and you could tell it got them pumped up for the trek up hill into Oakland! Maybe next year we will see Uncle Doug and Aunt Kathy running???!!?!? I'd like to run the Relay if anyone is up for it??

Update: Erica Harding

This is all about Erica!! So Erica is just getting ready to finish up her Sophomore year of high school, thank GOODNESS... it has been a tough one! But before she is done, she will be performing in the musical, so she has been rehearsing hard, hopefully performing at the Benedum again for the Kelly Awards. She has applied for a few jobs, Kennywood, Sandcastle and Pgh City Pools. Erica will be starting training for the Lifeguard position in May for the whole month, but she still will have to pass the swim test. She is also, supposed to be reading up on the driving manual, this I can wait for, so hopefully she isn't reading the manual!! :)
