March-April 2013/ Florida

Jay’s junior year in High School is winding down, and he has followed his brother’s footsteps in being inducted into the Cum Laude Society at his School.  It will be hard to imagine that in a little over a year, we will be down to one Majumdar boy at home.  The end of school year also means its Prom time, and it’s one of the few times we actually get pictures of our kids in formal attire.  Those are the ones you tend to keep over time.

Sareet went to a conference in Washington D.C and was able to sneak off with his friend John  to play both Congressional and Bull’s Run, but we did decide to take in a bit of culture at the same time.  The history behind the Battle of Bull Run was very interesting, as we saw the spot where Stonewall Jackson earned his nickname.   The national park (http://www.nps.gov/mana/index.htm) and its engaging guides create a very interesting environment to spend half a day, and someday it would make an interesting trip just to visit the sites of all the major Civil War battles from Georgia to Pennsylvania.

Jay is really passionate about his acting and singing, and he got the part of Magaldi in the School musical.   He surprised both his parents with his acting and singing chops…… the acting, we knew about, as we are used to his daily drama……
