Today I graduated from my leadership program (RLF) in Seattle! After 9 months of hard work, we finally finished! We met early this morning and had a giveback session for members of other RLF groups and it turned out really well. Each person placed a thumbprint on a paper we had stuck to the wall, […]
Today was a HUGE busy day! We had a bunch of things going on that took us all in multiple directions. As part of my leadership program at work, I flew out to Seattle today the Society for Information Management (SIM) conference called SIMposium. Part was to attend the conference, and the other part was
We just picked up new portraits of our kids today. We decided not to have the school pictures this year so we went to the studio to have them done. That way, all the backgrounds looked the same. Ben doesn’t have his yet but will soon. The girls also got a shot of them as
Brittany had her Still Middle School Fall Chorus Concert tonight and it turned out very well. She loves singing in Honors Chorus and they did very well. She also sang in the 8th grade chorus and did wonderfully well there too. The chorus director also had the parents and attendees stand and sing as well!
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

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. She said she didn’t do as well as she had hoped, but in her division, she placed 20th in the entire country! Sounds awesome
