Snow !     We got our first snow this weekend.  Was a surprise to us that the snow is sticking.  It ended up being about 3 inches on our deck.

So this has been a week of "First's" for us here at Haus Blauen Dorm at BFA:

1.  Our first sick student of the year.  There is a stomach flu starting to go around.  Butch picked her up on Friday at school.  

2.  Butch got sick on Saturday.  Imagine that!  So this weekend was a bummer.

3.  Our first Quarter of School is just ending.  There were lots of homework these last two weeks and some tired kids.  All in all, the students are doing great!  They have done excellent work this 1st Quarter.  Lots of good report cards.

4.  The school's first music recital.  We had 4 girls participate.  Wow!  Excellent musicians.  Our girls played the violin, the cello, and the piano.  One girl sang a solo.  All 4 did great!!

Thanks for looking at our blog!

Another Class Sendoff:  Oct 4th, 2012.  This time the Junior Class departed our dorm in the late evening for an all-night bus ride.  Destination:  Normandy, France.  The annual Junior Class Trip is to the site of the WWII D-Day Landings on the beaches of Normany, France.  They will spend 4 days touring museums and the actual beach landing sites.  Bonus:  On the way back, the entire 60+ Junior Class will spend most of a day in Paris.  Not much time, but they will be able to visit such landmarks as the Eiffle Tower, The Louvre, Norte Dame (the real Norte Dame, not the football team in Indiana), and the famous shops and coffee cafes.  Here is another photo of all 5 in the van headed to the school to catch the bus.  Bon Appetit !
