Eliana was sick after Winter Break, but we had a good time in California during the vacation. Highlights: visiting Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Lauren and Uncle Glenn and going to the Californai Academy of Sciences.
A dicussion of the relative merits of Twilight and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Eliana makes some very cool observations. Props to Joss Whedon!
Talking about eighth-grade social stuff. Eliana will be the Assistant Director for the the Spring musical, and she’s diggin’ the power.
Eliana gets a pair of socks from Mom, and she plugs LittleMissMatched, a favorite place for getting them.
Talking a little about where to go to high school.
(Recorded on January 11, despite what we said on the recording. It’s always challenging keeping track of what day it is.)

We quickly mention our summer vacation to the Great Sand Dunes National Monument.
Eliana’s Bat Mitzvah weekend was awesome!
We spend the remainder of our time talking about Eliana’s fantastic adventure on the Guided Adventures tall ship, the SSV Tole Mour.

Recap of the last couple of months. Chanukah, Melvin’s Birthday, New Year’s. Eliana, Daniel, and Mom’s trip to California, including trips to SFMoMA, good restaurants, and semi-apocalyptic storms. Snow shoeing in RMNP. Bat Mitzvah update. The Doggian Prophecy. Talkin’ fast.

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.

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!

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.
(Recorded on October 1.)

Lots to talk about since last month. Harry Potter Release Party recap. Denver Botanic Gardens. Our friend’s bike accident and recovery. Eliana’s birthday. Grandma and Grandpa’s visit. School starting. Busy, busy.
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.
