Marching Band

I love how her little feet keep going while she is fixing her hair. She never loses a beat.



And the drum doubles as part of the uniform too!

Doing her own makeup

I have to thank Michelle for sending me this one. I think this was the first time she actually sent me a pic of any of the kids during the week.

I'm not sure Em is quite ready to do her own makeup yet, but she sure looks like she had fun in the process.

He's a Senior

It's hard to believe that Johnathan will be starting his senior year in just a couple more days. They start on Wednesday. He has quite the course load this year including French 5, Calculus, Chemistry, English II & III, US Government, and Economics (all honors classes, and most of them AP for college credit as well). He is taking all that on top of continuing in band and running both track and cross country. I'm sure he is in for a fun year, but that seems to be the way he likes it.

After this year, he intends to go onto college and get his undergrad in genetic engineering. After that, he has his heart set on Harvard Law. We'll see how that goes though. I think he is considering using Drake Law as a secondary choice if he has to.

The Family

Well, I said I would put up a new post letting everyone know how things went with meeting the family.

Hmmmm... where to start?

I'm just kidding. It was a good weekend, and I had a great time meeting the family. I was a bit nervous about the whole thing at first, but it was really nice and I felt like everyone welcomed me in.

Thank you for including me, and I hope there will be many more weekends to come just like it.

Meeting the Family

Hmmmm.... what to say?

I am meeting Lindsey's family tonight for dinner and then a full family reunion tomorrow. I'm not really sure what to say or what to expect for that matter. Lindsey has told me that she thinks I will fit in just fine. However, her sister asked why she would introduce me to everyone at once rather than one crazy family member at a time. Should I read between the lines and come to the conclusion that Lindsey thinks I will fit in because I am just as crazy as everyone else?

I'll post an update after (if) I make it through, and let you know how everything went.

Time for a Haircut?

It's starting to get a little long, and guess what. She has NEVER had it cut yet. We thought about having it cut on her third birthday, but that didn't happen. I'm not sure if we want to wait for another birthday to cut it though. I don't want it short or anything, but a trim might be in order.

Video Wallpaper

I just had to share the new wallpaper I have on my phone. I get to see this bubbly little happy dancing face every time I go to use my phone now, and it never fails to make me smile.
