Christmas Tree '07 (Part I)

We went to our friends Marty and Cindy's farm to harvest our tree. As always we had a great time. Thank you and Merry Christmas to the Glendon family!

Christmas Tree '07 (Part II)

Ice Rink

We started work on the rink last week.
The ground froze and it snowed pretty early this year and I wasn't able to get the boards up and the plastic down, so we're going to try the "snowbank" method. I'm not sure how it'll work, we've got a small base of ice now but nowhere near enough to skate yet.

Relevant for this time of year especially (but not exclusively).

Deer Season

See the deer?

Yeah. Neither did I!

School

We post very little about school....so for those wondering about it....here's all the kids doing some schoolwork. Yes, Lily too. She's getting very good at making circles!!

Cal practicing his piano lessons....

Our younger music/art club doing an art lesson on printmaking. The kids actually made their own stamps!

Our older music/art group doing a lesson on primary, secondary, tertiary colors. Here they're making mosaics with the colors.

Uncle Mark

In honor of Veterans' Day Cal, James, and Leah sang at their grandparents church for a special luncheon.
They sang "I'm proud to be an American."
Uncle Mark was there as well singing.

The kids (Mom and Dad too) were very happy to spend some time with Uncle Mark who is currently serving our country in Uiejongbu, South Korea. We're proud of you Mark and miss you lots!!

Royal Party

James and Leah had a royal party for their birthday's this year.
Here are King James and Princess Leah.

The entire royal party....

And the castle cake.
