Halloween 2009

Here are the kids all dressed up. Spencer was supposed to be a toilet papered tree, but decided to forego the toilet paper last minute. So, he's just a tree in this photo. Benton is, obviously, Harry Potter. And Laura is a Spider Queen.

I know, I know. You all had given up on me ever posting again. I'm imagining all of your surprised faces when you realize that your eyes aren't playing tricks on you and yes, that actually is an update on Katie's blog. Well, fall has happened here in Ohio. Most of the leaves are scattered on the ground, the days are much shorter, and sweaters are becoming the norm to grab out of the drawer. We had a beautiful Indian Summer day today and were able to do some clean up in the yard. I felt great! Let's see.... you're reading this because you want some news....... thinking..... thinking..... thinking...... well, most of you know that I'm homeschooling Spencer this year. All is going well. Benton is enjoying second grade at his new school. They are both doing great and I'm (so far) really enjoying all the craziness that goes with the territory. Soccer ends tomorrow (joy and excitement!). Laura started her first dance class at the beginning of September. When her first class ended, she started crying when I showed up to take her home. Her teacher was very concerned and started to tell me how she really did have a good time. I had to explain to the teacher that she wasn't crying because I left her there, she was crying because I came to take her back home. She's having a wonderful time!

Spring Update

Well, here we are towards the end of May already. Where does the time go? My family has been bugging me for some updates, so I thought I'd take a few minutes to update this blog. Spencer was very pleased when he took second place in the District Pinewood Derby in April and has already begun with his plans for next year's car. The soccer season is (finally) over and here are a few pictures to prove they played. Benton is on the swim team and Spencer is on the dive team this summer. Both are anxiously awaiting for the season to start. Oh, and both can't wait for school to be over; and, frankly, neither can I.

The kids have been having so much fun with all this freezing weather! Here are some of the latest sledding photos.

Welcome to my blog.... Okay, those were words I never thought I'd hear myself say. This site is currently under construction. I can only work on it when my sis Mary is holding my hand and spelling the 'how to's' out for me. Enjoy anyway.
