Today marks the BIG 20 year mark for Angela and me! Wow! How time has flown. It seems like yesterday that we got married, and now it’s been 20 years, 5 kids later, and a few gray hairs. OK, more than a few gray hairs… 🙂 We are planning a 20th anniversary get-away when we […]
Today Sarah took her AP Psychology Test! Let’s hope all the studying paid-off! 🙂 She didn’t think it was too hard, but has no idea on how she may have done. We’re all keeping our fingers crossed!
Tonight, we had our 7th (I think) annual Teacher Appreciation night! Brittany and Zach had school teachers there, and Brittany and Sarah had one of their Seminary teachers there. It was a crazy time and we wish that more teachers could have come, but we had a great time! We had dinner for them, and
Today, Sarah took the ACT for the second time. She has been studying very hard and taking all kinds of practice tests. She really wants to get at least a 30. She said that this one was a little bit easier than the last one. Hmmm… I wonder if it has anything to do with
Today was a pretty busy day! The boys had an Easter egg hunt with some friends (Kirstyn helped out as well). They got loaded up on candy and had fun playing at the park as well. After Zach got back from the egg hunt, he and I went to the Kane County Cougars baseball game
Tonight was the Gombert Elementary School Science Fair. Zach had been wanting to do the Science Fair for some time now, so we worked with him on a project that he thought was really cool! The title of his project was “Solid or Liquid? A Study in Non-Newtonian Suspension.” Pretty fancy, huh? 🙂 He made
This morning, I took Mike and Pat to the Naperville train station and dropped them off. They took the Amtrak train downtown and then to Quincy, IL, where they rented another car and drove to Nauvoo. They’ll stay there for a couple of days and then drive to St. Louis and fly home. What a
Tonight was Sarah’s spring band concert. I can’t believe it! I didn’t have a conflict so I was able to go! She did a great job and played her heart out! She loves playing both the flute and piccolo. I’m not sure how she can even play the piccolo the thing is so small! 🙂
Tonight, Brittany had her spring orchestra and percussion ensemble concerts tonight. She did a GREAT job! It’s great that she has picked up both orchestra and percussion. She enjoys both and it gives her two separate things that she can do to round off her talents! 🙂 Sometimes I think she enjoys percussion even more
Tonight, Zach had his Gombert Elementary 1st Grade Play, “Once Upon a Lilly Pad” which he was VERY excited about. He got to dress in a green shirt to be a frog, and we all went to see him. The lighting was low so it was hard to get good pictures, but a couple are
Happy big number 3 Benjamin! 🙂 Ben was so excited this morning when we told him it was his birthday! Yesterday, he went with one of his little friends that was born 1 day before him to Airtastic to have a joint party. They had a blast and loved jumping around on everything and playing
Today was the District 204 Solo and Ensemble Festival. Sarah and Brittany participated in it (Kirstyn’s is later) and they did a great job. We are so proud of them. There were no rankings given out, however. The normal area Solo and Ensemble Festival that they have yearly was canceled because they couldn’t find a
