Yesterday (Brittany and I) and today (Angela and Kirstyn), we went to the high school and watched Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night performed by the students. The cool thing was that Sarah was in the production as the musical talent between scenes! 🙂 She did a great job and had a lot of fun doing it! She […]
Tonight, Angela and I went to Drury Lane Theater in Oakbrook and saw Seven Brides for Seven Brothers! Angela surprised me with tickets and we were very excited to go! It was 20 years ago that we first met, got together, and this was the first film that we watched together at a ward leadership
Tonight was round 2 of Parent Teacher Conferences! We visited Still Middle School first and talked to Kirstyn’s teachers. She’s doing great and her teachers really love her!

Tonight was Kirstyn’s first band concert of middle school! She was so excited to get there and play for everyone! She’s quite the little performer!

Tonight was round 1 of Parent Teacher Conferences! We visited Gombert first and talked to Zach’s teacher. He’s doing great with the exception of the talking and not listening to his teachers sometimes! 🙁 We need to work with him on that! Part of it may be that he is bored with what the other

Tonight, Brittany had her first orchestra concert at Metea. Angela took Kirstyn and went. Sarah attended her Young Women activity, and I went with Ben to Zach’s football practice. It just seems like every activity we have, we are conflicted with many other things we need to do as well. It’s just crazy. Brittany did
