Today we went to the Amerika Haus because they were having a 4th of July party for the German-American community. This was of course Joshua's first 4th of July, but also Christian and Leo's first. I have been a member of the AAUPW (American Association of University and Professional Women) for a number or years now one group present at the event. The AAUPW also has a seasonal choir, which means choir members put together songs for different events, like the x-mas party, etc. to make things more festive. I have joined the choir on many occasions and this time we did a medley from the Music Man musical. We had about 5 rehearsals at Annie's house, to all of which I brought Joshua. He was given lots of attention by the other 8 singing ladies and he really enjoyed the music, especially as it became more and more familiar to him. It was nice for me to get out of the house and do an activity I love and nice for him as well.
So the party was interesting, not as "American" as I would have liked it, but they had some barbeque, Starbucks and KFC were also there. There was a Jazz band playing and the AAUPW choir performance went over well. It was hot, hot, hot though - the kind of hot where you know a storm is brewing and by evening there would be (you hope there would be)a nice summer night thunderstorm. The heat and stickiness bugged Joshua a bit but mostly he was in good spirits, wearing his red, white and blue "born to rock" shirt. Be patient, pics to follow!
Joshua was certainly a main attraction for me at the party! So adorable!! He did great - despite the heat! And you did a great job with the choir too! It was so great to see you guys there. The blog is wonderful, Sommer!!
