I took a few pictures of a rainbow this morning. The big news of the day is that Elizabeth, Katy, and I all went surfing. Of course Katy just improved on how very well she did last year. Elizabeth and I really never got up. By the way, if you click through and look at the pictures of me and Elizabeth surfing, you are entering a pay-per-view site.
George and Susan came down and took Katy, Margaret, and Sam to Roaring Camp Railroad. They had a good time riding the train through the redwoods.
Friday was Greek Day at Fisher. Everyone (in the 6th grade) dressed up as Greeks.
It was also Hawaiian day at Van Meter.
We had Katy’s family birthday celebration. Not too exciting. Elizabeth made a chocolate cake and everyone enjoyed it. One more year until we have a TEENAGER.
Just found this that Katy left on the stairs. I figured I would share it with everyone. Click on it to see a bigger picture.
Katy and Margaret had a pre-Christmas recital. Sam and I enjoyed it immensely.
Elizabeth: The girls worked very hard to prepare for this, and played songs that were somewhat difficult for them. They both played well, and I am proud of them. If you would like to see and hear their performances, click on the photo and then on the movie of each of them. After the recital, which took place in a nursing home, they stayed and greeted the residents who came to listen to the show.
We went to the zoo with Olivia. We managed to see almost all of the zoo in a couple of hours. We got there early on a cold foggy day, so it was pretty much empty. Some of the animals were much more active, others were nowhere to be seen.
Katy started 6th grade and Margaret started 2nd. Katy was a little apprehensive about staring middle school this year. A couple of days later and she says it is better than elementary school. Margaret has class again with Sophie this year.
We went to a party today where the Karaoke Ice cream truck was the guest of honor. The kids had a great time singing and dancing karaoke. We even got Pokie up there doing it and here is thestuff from the Karaoke Ice website.
There are a couple with Katy and Jenna from the Karaoke Ice website, here and here.
Katy’s first set of photos from England. These are basically uneditted, we will edit them and add to them over the next few days.
