Bye Bye Birdie

The last East Lansing High School play for John to work on crew closed today. He has really enjoyed his work on the tech crew and the friends he met on the various plays he worked on during high school. We are very proud of him and the work he did on each play. This last one was Bye Bye Birdie. He was the "sound tech guy", and I think that was his favorite role ever! Congratulations, John! You did a great job and we all enjoyed coming to the plays you worked on each year!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Here are pictures of my various darling shamrocks! We had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. The kids had a half-day of school (conferences. Jeanine was home from D.C. for Spring Break so she and her family joined us for dinner along with Tonya and Abbie, Ryan and Addison. We had a great day and the weather was beautiful and sunny---more than likely why I think of it a such a wonderful holiday. Any sunny day in March in Michigan is a holiday!

March Madness!

We not only have to watch every basketball game on TV, some of us have to get back to the driveway hoops the minute the snow drifts start to melt! The "outside" basketballs are all pumped up and they are ready to go!
We are all enjoying watching our Spartans---and lots of other teams, too!

Alex & Ben at the First Grade Bake Sale Jane's Play

Alex and Ben and their class had a two day bake sale for their unit on economics. They all had a blast and made lots of money to send to Haiti. Good job guys!

Jane's class performed Hansel and Gretel Learn to Eat Healthy. Jane was the Mother of Hansel and Gretel. She loved being on stage and was happy to have NO lines to remember, but singing together with her friends. She did a great job and we loved watching and listening to her!

Birthday Boy!

I'm just getting around to posting pictures of the Birthday Boy. The sweatshirt he's wearing arrived that day from Jo-Jo and he wasted no time putting it on! I think he had a good birthday---we've seen very little of him since that day --- he's pretty busy.
