In the last few months, two new additions have been welcomed into the West Central family. Kathryn Zita Bialas was born on November 27 to Becky Bialas, the choir teacher. Hudson Daniel Eye was born on December 29 to Danny Eye, the band teacher.

Kathryn was named after both of her grandmas, Kathryn and Zita. She weighed six pounds and eight ounces, and was measured at 20 1/2 inches long. Bialas has said that she isn’t a fussy baby, “She’s a good baby and slept for nine hours last night.” Bialas believes Kathryn will be a low alto because she has a low pitched cry.Contrary to that, she squeaks a lot like a high soprano. Unlike most babies, she hardly wakes up at night. She is about seven weeks old and is now starting to smile. When asked what she wants for her daughter, Bialas said she wants “Everything. I hope she likes to sing and becomes a doctor. I hope she’s really happy and that we can be good parents.”

Hudson was born six pounds and seven ounces, and measured at about 20 inches long. Other than his size, he is the opposite of Kathryn Bialas. When asked if he is fussy or quiet, all Eye could say is, “It’s been rough.”  Sleep is very rare for Hudson. He wakes abo

ut once every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. He didn’t come out marching as everyone had joked. His lower lip is curled, so he has, as Eye says, the embouchure, or mouth formation, of a saxophone player, but he also thinks with all the percussive instruments around his house that his son will be a drummer. Hudson’s name was originally going to be Harrison, but his parents feared people would call him “Harry Eye.”  It is a tradition in the Eye family for the firstborn son to take his father’s name as his middle name. He definitely was born with a sense of humor because at his baby picture photo shoot he urinated on the photographer and pooped all over the set. Eye added, “I hope he’s happy, healthy, and successful, whatever that may be.”

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to head to a close movie theatre to see Mission: Impossible–Ghost Protocol. Tom Cruise returns as IMF Agent Ethan Hunt in the fourth installment in the Mission: Impossible series, and the series keeps getting more thrilling!

When a fellow IMF agent is killed while fulfilling an assignment code-named “Colbalt”, Hunt is extracted from a Moscow prison to lead his team to infiltrate a secret Moscow Kremlin archives files identifying Colbalt. During the mission, someone alerts the Russians to Hunt’s team and a bomb destroys the Kremlin. Ethan’s plan soon falls apart when the Russians have called the attack an undeclared act of war, and the U.S. president initiates “Ghost Protocol”, which disavows the entire IMF team. Hunt and his team are blamed for the attack, and they must find their own way to escape from custody so that they can track down Colbalt.

Misson: Impossible–Ghost Protocol premiered on December 16, 2011, and received positive reviews. The film is considered the best-reviewed entry of the series on the site Rotten Tomatoes. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film a positive review by saying the film “is a terrific thriller with action sequences that function as a kind of action poetry.” Along with positive reviews, Ghost Protocol has made a worldwide total of $506,747,000 so far! It ranks as the second highest-grossing film in the Mission: Impossible series.

This movie has proved that it’s worth the money to attend. It’s a great film that thrills all audiences! So go buy a ticket and watch Tom Cruise master his role in Mission: Impossible–Ghost Protocol!
