Ok, so we've done a really bad job of updating our blog. And here we are again, almost a whole year later. I'll try to wrap up the past year in one posting, and we'll see if we can't get some updates in more frequently in the future!
Trevor is just finishing up second grade. He got first place in the science fair for his project called "The fizz test". He compared how much fizz (or eruption, as he called it) came from different types of colas when they were opened. He also had his artwork displayed this year at the county school's headquarters as part of the annual Tapestry art show. He played basketball this past winter, and spends a lot of time shooting hoops in the driveway now. He's playing baseball again this spring - he splits his time between first base, short stop, second, and pitcher.
Marisa will be done with preschool in just a few short weeks. Then we'll be counting down to kindergarten, if you can believe that! She's again taking ballet, and will have her recital in May. She played soccer in the fall and is debating about whether she wants to play soccer or softball this year (I think the pink helmets and bats are enticing her!). I'm not ready to have both kids playing sports at the same time (just one is crazy enough as it is), but I know it's coming.
We added a new puppy to the family at the end of March. Sam is about four months old. He's a lab-mix of some sort. We think he might really be a shar pei mix, but you can decide when you see his picture. We adopted him from the Atlanta Humane Society, which is where we got Ben almost three years ago. The boys get along great, and there is never a dull moment in our house! It's really fun to watch him as he learns about the world around him. There's a new experience every day - new stuffed animals to steal from Marisa's room, transformers to be found under Trevor's bed...you see where I'm going with this.
Here are some photos from the past year...enjoy!
