Jeffrey's Boo Boo

Jeffrey and I went roller skating as part of a stake youth activity with our church last Saturday. He did great at first, but at some point he fell on top of his arm. He complained a lot about it, but we thought it was just a sprain. Turns out he had a small fracture. He was in a sling by Monday and got the cast today.

I broke my arm roller skating when I was a kid, so I'm proud to have a son that wants to be just like me.

Playing in the Band with Jeffrey

Jeffrey's Middle School Band did a special concert where parents were invited to join the band. So I dusted off my French Horn that I haven't played in two years and joined the fun. We got to play a few numbers together including Spider Pig, Teenage Mutant Ninja Drummers, and God Bless the U.S.A. It was fun to play again, and Jeffrey was thrilled to have me in his band. I have to say, the band sounded great!

Greetings from Wilsonville

My sister Connie has decided to join the blogospshere! Check out her blog "Greetings from Wilsonville" where she'll describe life in Southern California with her husband Darrell and their four kids, her thoughts on being both homeschooling parents and public school parents (dissing both systems at times), and other random thoughts. Looking forward to your posts Connie!

Catherine the Artist

Just wanted to show off some of my daughter Catherine's recent drawings. I don't know where she gets this artistic talent. Certainly not from me as I can only draw stick figures.
