The Greer Family

Margaret finished 5th grade. They had a ceremony to commemorate the event. Next year she will be at the middle school. Margaret was one of about 5 students that read their essays during the ceremony. Margaret is excited about going to middle school. She has qualified out of math 6A and into math 7A, so [...]

Sam had the ceremony that promoted him from a Wolf to a Bear. He has now earned his Wolf badges and will be a Bear next year. The ceremony was fun. Each older set of boys helped the next younger set change their scarf and hat to be ready for the start of next year.

We finally had the party we decided to have when Elizabeth was originally diagnosed with a brain tumor. Luckily, we were able to have the “Pokie’s Not Dead Party” instead of the other one. We had about 200 people over to the house. They made T-shirts that Elizabeth designed, bounced in the bouncy house, drank [...]

This year for her birthday Katy decided that she wanted to take her friends roller skating. Everyone tried it (except for me) with varying success. It was a bit dark, so the pictures are what they are.

Sam had his birthday party on his actual birthday this year. He had a bunch of friends go play laser tag. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.

We all went to something that only Elizabeth had done before, a bar mitzvah. It was David Cooper’s 13th birthday. I remember when Viv was in the hospital having him, I was at Cooper’s house painting his bathroom that he didn’t have time to finish. It was a very modern ceremony that was interesting. Afterwards, [...]

Can you believe Margaret is 11? As seems to always be, Margaret’s birthday fell during ski week. We were in Tahoe, so we went ice skating in the afternoon then had a nice dinner with the Walden’s that night. (We also had a dinner with Elizabeth’s family the next Friday). A low key birthday. Now [...]

Sam is just loving cub scouts. I don’t know if it is the uniform, running around with a bunch of wild kids, or what, but he is always excited about it. The latest escapade was building and racing of the Pinewood Derby cars. His buddy Simon came over to build/paint with him. The cars turned [...]

We had New Years again in Tahoe. We had about 20 people at the house. Bruce forgot to bring the fireworks, so we didn’t have pyrotechnics to entertain us, but we did have poppers as well as silly string to make a mess with in the street. For the first time in years we all [...]

Another great Christmas. Santa brought the kids Band Hero. I think the adults may be enjoying it more. We have already ordered another guitar so someone can play the bass. Other than that, Christmas was great as always. Everyone got lots of fun things and so far having a good time.
