Beauty is...
Julian entered a reflection contest at school. Students were asked to use a form of art to reflect what they see beauty as. He drew this picture and said:
"Soldiers have a beautiful heart because they leave their families to protect our country."
it warms the heart, doesn't it...

Tate & cousin Lucas

I know it's too early for holiday music but I might not get another post up for a month (or more). So a week early on Christmas music isn't too bad.

First Day 2009

Julian started 1st grade last week, Tate moved up to the "red" room, and I started another year of teaching Kindergarten. I had mom take pictures with her camera since she so kindly came over to help out with the first morning. She just e-mailed them to me this evening and I'm not able to make them any larger. So if you'd like to see a clearer image of these exact same images, click on "Granmommy" on the right. By the way, Julian is missing 3 of his top front teeth.

Rangers & Memorial Day

The boys are Jr. Rangers so we'll be going to many games this season. Baseball season is our favorite time of year, so they are loving the frequent visits to the ballpark. Today we celebrated CC's birthday and then went to the afternoon game.

We bumped into cousin Lucas at the game today.

CC had all her grandchildren at her party today.

Uncle Jason brought a giant bucket of pickles.

We spent Memorial Day at the lake with cousins having a great time.

Another visit to the ballpark a few weeks ago with some friends.
