Patrick Honors Day at Allisonville Elementary

patrick got high honor roll and perfect attendance recognition at the honors breakfast at allisonville elementary last week. the whole fam showed up to support our boy even though it turned out they just sent home his ribbon and certificate home with him to cut down on time and they all just stood on the stage and had their names read. it was good to be there, but the whole leaving the house at 6:45 A.M. seemed extreme.

Visiting John in the Hospital

Patrick and Dakota had a good time visiting our friend John in the hospital recently (he is doing great so it's all good). They really enjoyed it when he got to be up in the chair so they could have the bed to watch cartoons.

Greg's Nemesis!

Our chubby squirrel - he lives in the tree in our back yard and has managed to eat a hole in our (apparently) cheap trash can.

Girl Scout Troop 1219 Go Green Fair!

maggie participated in her Girl Scout Troop's Bronze Award project - a Go Green Fair. the girls had a theme of reduce, reuse and recycle and they did a great job. the nice weather kept a lot of people away, but they still had a decent turnout. i learned a lot personally - did you know you can compost post-it notes? well, you can!
