Congratulations

Congratulations to Emma who has been cast as Tweedle-Dee in the the Toledo Rep's version of Disney's Jr. Alice in Wonderland. This was Emma's 2nd audition at the Rep and her first role in a production outside of school. She is very excited to be in the show and can't wait learn more about the theater.

Show Information

Update: Emma has been to sing at a private party prior to the fireworks display. She will be singing Amazing Grace and the National Anthem to kick off the festivities. She is really excited. Break a Leg!

Happyh 4th Birthday!

We can't believe how fast our little one is growing up. Despite our efforts to keep her baby, she's starting to become a pre-schooler. He now has some of her own friends and everything that comes with that. I'm sure Jamey will want to extend this time as long as possible. I hope she doesn't mind being the only 10 year old in kindergarten.

Holy Cow!

Why didn't someone tell me it was 2011 already...
I've got sooooo much to post but, sooooooo little time to do it. Where to begin?

Well, I hope to do better during the last half of the year.

First Snow Fall

Yesterday we had our first snow fall of the season. Emma was being a good, big sister and took Grace outside for 30 mins. or so after dinner last night. We ended up receiving around 4" and the kids were able to stay home from school today. I love it!

Latest Addition...

This weekend we got the kids a Lion headed rabbit. It is part Christmas and part an "I don't want a dog" gift. We had been thinking about it for awhile and we found a girl in town who just bread them and had them for sale. He has been a good addition to the family so far.

Halloween 2010

Halloween is always a busy time of the year are our house. It always seems like the kids have several ideas of what they want to be. This year was no different, except for Caleb of course. He had his mind set on being Luke Skywalker for a long time. He prepared by watching the original Star Wars Trilogy all month long. Literally, every night before bed he was watching. Grace's ideas were all centered around princesses. Princess Leia, Snow White, Cinderella... He settled on the Butterfly Princess that you see here. Emma went out trick-or-treating with her friends from the neighborhood for the 2nd straight year. As you can obviously see they were "80's" girls. Hannah was doing homework on the 31st until an hour before Halloweening began. I am still not sure what we was. It didn't look like a costume to me. Unfortunately she ran out the door before we could snap a picture of her.
