the Cheerleader

This is a photo of Samantha cheering at a LHS football game with the "real" cheerleaders. Soon after this picture she was in tears due to the heat and mosquitos. I think she lasted a total of four minutes! Oh well, at least we didn't have to sit through an entire football game...

Nick's last football game

Pictures of Nick from the 6th grade recognition before the last game...

The joy of the "Wisconsin Hat and Cane"...

...just continues on day after day...

Finally Finished!!

Ian's quilt is done! Hurray! (Sam, do you recognize the red Indiana square? It's from little IU sweatpants you got for us right after I found out I was pregnant!)

Clarinet no more...

Our clarinet player has moved on. Ian is now a percussionist. (Is that a word?) He was not enjoying the clarinet at all but didn't want to quit band (and we didn't want that either) so he moved to his original first choice. And he's loving it!!! Last night he practiced for over an hour! (My head still hurts!) We are glad he's having fun!

Fun times, as usual...

As always, a great time was had with relatives in Wisconsin! We REALLY, REALLY missed our Ellen but managed to survive!

Beautiful princesses!
