Hello and greetings from an intermittently sunny Frankfurt! Brenda finished her first week of Arabella rehearsals a few hours ago and is already hard at work in the kitchen baking cookies. (Lucky me!) Arabella is Brenda's last production at Oper Frankfurt as a member of the ensemble, and she's enjoying working with some of the same colleagues she worked with during her first year in the ensemble way back in 2008.
While Brenda's been rehearsing I've been chasing after Rowan who has started taking a much greater interest in walking over the past couple of days. Crawling is still his preferred method of transportation, but when he's cruising around the living room he's started taking a few adventurous steps away from whatever piece of furniture he's holding onto at the time. He'll also walk between Brenda and me when we're sitting across from each other on the floor. Rowan had a play date this weekend with a little guy who was walking all over the place, and I have a feeling Rowan might have gotten some inspiration from him.
In preparation for us moving back to the U.S. sooner or later, I've decided to take the Minnesota bar exam this summer. I graduated from law school almost three years ago (how is that possible?) and I never took a bar exam because we didn't know which state we may ultimately live in. We've now got our sights set on Minnesota so I'm going to take the bar there. This week I've been familiarizing myself with the online bar preparation course I've chosen so I can get a better idea of what bar prep looks like. The course begins May 22nd and I learned yesterday that they expect you to study 8 - 10 hours per day, seven days a week until the exam on July 25 and 26. Fortunately, I can begin studying earlier, which would make for less studying later on.
That's what we've been up to. I hope you all have a great week, and we'll talk to you next time!
