Episode 010: It's All Relatives

We welcome Grammy and Grampy to the podcast today. They're here for Spring Break, and we cover all the activities of the week. Then Eliana grills the grandparents about their junior high experiences, and about how they met. They also tell a couple of stories about Rick. Check out the links at the blog.

Episode 008: It's Sodalicious!

In a "very special" episode of BoulderFaD, we are joined by Mom and Daniel for a taste-testing of the Chanukah soda pack from Jones Soda. They also have novelty soda packs for Christmas and Thanksgiving, but we didn't try those (our bravery only extends so far).

Our conclusion: A nice novelty gift idea, but perhaps not the sort of thing one would drink on a regular basis.

Episode 007: Happy Thanksgiving!

Coming off last night's sleepover with her friends (ohmigodthatcaffeineisAWESOME!), Eliana shares a few thoughts about movies. We also talk about cooking at the homeless shelter, how to throw a boffo Harry Potter party for youngsters, Halloween, middle school drama (not the performing kind), middle school musicals (the performing kind), and a few other goodies. Also a book review. Happy Turkey Day, everyone!

Episode 006: In Memory of Cousin Fred

We get a detailed rundown of Eliana's classes, get a little giggly over the subject of crushes, and end on a sad note.

We miss you, Fred.

Sorry for the jet engine noise in the background starting a little ways in. We were recording with my new laptop, and the cooling fan kicked in--didn't realize how loud it was. Live and learn.

Episode 004: Pottermania!

The fifth movie and the seventh book in one week--what else are we going to talk about? Plus big Bat Mitzvah Update news, and our upcoming visit to the opera.
