Elizabeth and Wil on the web

Back when I recorded the twins, more than 2 years ago when they were just in kindergarten, I tried uploading some of the files to Ourmedia, which is free. Well, it didn't work very well, so I never went back. But three of them did make it up and I want to make sure they're preserved for posterity:

Take me out to the ball game - Wil
Bethy's ZYXes
O Leaphart - Wil

If you have time, give them a listen. They are so sweet!

Sword fighting, Fencing, Taking a whack at each other

After sword-fighting with his cousins in the Biltmore gardens all weekend, Wil was cautiously enthusiastic about attending his first fencing class yesterday. Not surprisingly, he LOVED it. There are 4 other little boys in his class, but my guess is that he's the youngest. The coach was great - patient, fun, kept them moving. They played games, learned the parts of the foil, practiced beginning footwork, discussed safety, tried on gear, and then got to take a whack at each other with "foam sabers," as Wil called them. The coach called them quarterstaffs.
