Graduation
Graduation was wonderful!! We had 2 sets of grandparents come in.
Here is a picture of J. getting her diploma:
Here is J. with my parents, Nanny and Paw:
Here is J. with me, Nanny, Paw, Granma D., Granpa B., and Dad:
Here is a picture of J. with the grandparents:
And a pic. of just J. all by herself:
That night, we went to a nice fondue restaurant for dinner. Boy were we stuffed!
We so enjoyed having everyone together! We hope they enjoyed it as much as we did.
Before we go, I have one last picture to show. As you know, J. is a competitive gymnast and works out 17 hours a week. Needless to say, she is pretty muscular. I tried to get a picture of her flexing in her dress because I loved the irony of the feminine dress and the masculine musculature. Here is that picture. Of course, she is giggling and not really flexing that well, but you can get the idea:
Here is a better picture showing her muscles:
HA HA. (Sorry, I thought that was really funny.)
Hope to post some more photos soon of M. from her gymnastics "fun meet."
Take care!
By the way, see the word "comments" below? Click on it. Then leave us a note letting us know you were here.
Love to all!

Pictures!!
Finally, a post with some pictures!
Relay race on field day.
Sack race. Love the pigtails!
Egg toss!!
J. and M. - my beautiful girls.
Can you guess which one is which?
Now, before anyone says that it sure seems like I like M. better since I posted more pictures of her than of J, be reminded that J. graduates next week. I have a hunch that we may take just a few (ahem) pictures of her dressed up as a girl - seeing as how it doesn't happen often.
***OH - guess what?? M. tried out for the competitive team at gymnastics and made it! She will be competing level 4. I am going to be coaching a team this year as well, but I am coaching level 3. So that is 3 competition seasons for us this year. Luckily though, all 3 of our teams will compete in the spring season (which starts in January.)
Don't forget to sign the guestbook and let me know you were here!
Here is C. and I dressed for a banquet. We clean up pretty well.
Here is M. jumping 6 feet and 3 inches in the standing broad jump on Field Day. 1st place!!

Preliminary update
This is an update to let you know that I'm working on an update. A really nice one. With pictures and lots of info. However, I don't have it ready yet. So, hopefully soon. :-)
Things have been pretty calm the last week or so. That is in prep for this week as well as the next two weeks. This week has M. participating in field day at school and having team tryouts for gymnastics this Saturday. She is a little concerned because she pulled a muscle in her groin area and is a little sore. She was very unhappy that this happened the week before field day and tryouts. She did not really complain this morning though, so hopefully she is almost better.
J. has a "welcome to High School" thingy tonight. We are all still a little bewildered as to how she is old enough for High School. She is happy. Dad and I? Not so much.
Next week is JH graduation for J. AHHHH!
So, this weekend is tryouts, next weekend is an all-weekend event at our gym. And by all weekend, I mean ALL weekend - Friday night, all day Saturday, and 3/4 of the day on Sunday. Because I coach, I will be working all shifts inside the gym. Then, because I am on the executive board of the booster club, I need to have someone working a lot of the shifts in the lobby working concessions. Guess who gets to fill that spot????
Then, the NEXT week is exams for J. I am stressed about those because she has a couple of classes that she really needs a good exam grade in. She has developed some kind of testing brain freeze this year. Test preps, class work, and homework produce wonderful grades. However, if it says TEST at the top of it, she cannot seem to make the same type of grades. She is taking 3 credit classes this year, so we are hoping that she at least does well on those.
Well, that is it for over here. I sure wish my life were more exciting - then I would have more to write about.
Thanks for visiting!!
