June Report 

 June started like most months around here... fast and furious.  As soon as the calendar clicked over to the blessed summer month we began Graduation Week.  This is a busy week for me as I help with many activities at the high school... including graduation.  It's a process to get things to sound nice in… Continue reading June Report

The May Report 

 The month of May was full of all kinds of adventure. John and Lilli raised baby chicks in March and April, but decided to get fertilized eggs for a broody hen.  As if the first 10 baby chickens weren't enough, they got 12 eggs!  The broody mama sat and sat... until the little ones began… Continue reading The May Report

The March Report 

 March went very fast... and yet... very slow. Near the beginning Hannah was an Academic All Star... again.  Seemed a little ironic since mid-term report cards came and her grades didn't look so good. She was able to get some work turned in so the grades look better now.  Thank goodness!  We need her to… Continue reading The March Report

They had some… Continue reading The February Report

Guess it’s about time to wrap up 2014 

I really should catch up on blogging things... I've nearly forgotten what happened when... especially when my days blend together. Let's see.... Hannah competed in the school Talent Show singing Never Fall in Love With an Elf... she won. Chad played "Wal-Mart  Girl", a song he wrote... he won Crowd Favorite. We started the set… Continue reading Guess it’s about time to wrap up 2014

November Report 

November came and went in a big hurry.  It started with auditions for Central High School's winter production of Oklahoma! to be performed in February.  Since Hannah was auditioning I made it a point to help other students, but to stay away from decision making with the audition process.  I was so proud of everyone… Continue reading November Report

October – a month late and several dollars short 

The month of October was a busy one!  Mostly, we were busy with school, the school play, school activities... hey... that's a lot of school. Hannah was one of the honored students at the Academic All Star Assembly.  This is how the school encourages kids to get good grades.  Sadly, most of the kids are… Continue reading October – a month late and several dollars short
