Leader of the Pack

Hannah Grace hanging out after Lily's soccer game





Lily, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to victory! She loves the game so much and even had a home run during the first practice! This Wednesday will be her first game, she is so excited!











Update 10/27/11  I just found this draft, I'm not sure when I put it together.  Clearly, Hannah Grace was just a baby, probably Oskar's age so this must have been put together 3 years ago.  I thought it was time to finally publish it!







DREAM IT!

I've been wanting to post new stories and pictures of the kids on the blog

but I somehow can't download pictures from the camera.

I realized that I tend to update on nights when Greg is at the library or at class,

so, my tech support is not available.

Until I get new pictures on my computer, I thought I'd share some things 

that this little one wrote for an assignment at school!


The assignment was called "DREAM IT!" and was for Red Ribbon Week

the directions were

In the space below, make a list of all the 
things you have ever wanted to learn or be.
The sky is the limit when you're drug free!
Don't leave anything out!

               I'd like to learn....                                                                I'd like to be....
                cersev (cursive)                                                                      a police girl
                how to play hobcky                                                                a docter
                about gases                                                                             a vetranareen
                about soshoil studes                                                               a soccer player
                about life cicels                                                                      a tenis player
                how to play hooky                                                                 a teacher
                how snakes shed                                                                    a reading teacher
                  their skin                                                                              a presedint's wife

A couple of things I love about these two lists are that
she (1) clearly had just come from science class where they've been learning
about the life cycles of insects, (2) brave spelling can at times be tricky to read but is always fun for a laugh, (3) her carrer choices suit her spunky personality and my personal favorite is her last choice!


oh, how I love this little chick-a-dee!
