Today was a very busy day! We started off the day with a church service project at Feed My Starving Children, which is a food preparation and shipping charity. When you go there, you make packaged meals of rice, soy, dried vegetables, and chicken powder. Each packet is enough to feed 1 child 1 meal […]
Tonight marked another piece of history, as the Metea Valley High School Music Department held it’s very first Fall Band, Chorus, and Orchestra concerts! It’s funny to say that, because everything at Metea this year is a first. 🙂 It just sounds cool saying that, so we keep it up! Sarah did very well in
Well, fall is here and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to get any warmer! It’s been cold and/or rainy for the past 2 weeks. The leaves are starting to turn colors and it’s very beautiful. The only problem with the leaves starting to turn is that we know winter will be here soon! 🙁
Sarah just got her pictures back from the first Metea Homecoming Dance she went to with 2 of her friends, so we thought we’d post it! Don’t they look cute! 🙂
Well, Zach’s first soccer season is over. He played his last game today! When we got up and got ready to go, it was raining a little outside and it was very cold. Then it turned to SNOW! Looks like global warming is alive and well! 🙂 We bundled him up and we went and
Sarah got her official Metea Valley High School Marching Mustangs band picture back today and we wanted to post it as soon as possible! She had so much fun and really enjoyed it. Sarah is on the top row on the right-hand side, next to the directors… Even though the band was small this year,
We got an e-mail from Carmen today letting us know about everything that is going on. This past weekend, she ran in the Spain National Track and Field Championships in Barcelona.

Brittany had her final middle school Conference Cross Country meet today at DuPage River Park. There were 20+ schools there competing and she ran her race in just over 16 minutes. That’s a personal best for her and she is getting better and better. It was a beautiful day for the race and the course
Tonight Sarah and the other members of the Inaugural Metea Valley Marching Mustangs marching band were honored with a banquet at the school. We had a great dinner of pasta and Italian beef as well as desserts. I guess it was a nice date for us considering it’s our Engagement Anniversary today! 🙂 We watched
Today was a busy day also. We started off with Zach’s soccer game. They lost, but the kids played great and they are getting better and better every week. I love the fact that the most important thing is just to have fun and that the score really doesn’t matter. We got some good pictures,
