BIG DAY

Today is Jack's graduation from preschool! The ceremony starts at 7:00 on UCA's campus in Waldron Hall. He is so very excited! His choice of future career this time was a costume designer of play clothes, so he is wearing a white shirt, black pants, dress shoes, yellow tape measure around his neck, wrist pin cushion, and two costumes draped over his arm. What a hoot! I will post pictures as soon as I can.

And, at the same time tonight, is Gray's first softball game. We have our regular scheduling nightmare! I will get to see the first 20 minutes of the game (Gray is our starting pitcher tonight), then leave to go to graduation, since Jack has to be there early. Pete and Gray will have to leave the game early to get to graduation. Needless to say, I am selfishly hoping for a rainout, and we just might get it.

Check back tomorrow...D

Church Sign in Conway

God does not want shares of your life...He wants controlling interest.

Bravo, Jackson Karl!

And here it is, the UCA Community School of Music Suzuki Spring 2009 Concert. Click on video to see our very own Jackson Karl in action on his duet with his teacher, Mr. Mike. He actually got confused and played a different song than they had practiced together, but he just kept going. We are SO proud of him!

Cross Your Fingers...

...I think I have squeaky Pete finally convinced to part with some his $$ and purchase a camcorder. Jack's violin recital is tomorrow, and if he does what his teacher is expecting him to do, I would LOVE to capture it on film and post it on this site for all to enjoy. Gracie just hopes she doesn't "get all dressed up for nuthin' " again.

Good luck, Jacky! Break a...string?

Activity in the Man Cave

This is what the boys have been up to lately in the Man Cave.

Still no flowers..

...but the rain did stop, and I think we will have nice and sunny weather this week! We need for the ball fields to dry out. Gracie had to pitch short yesterday due to the pitcher's mound being a huge puddle. Busy week this week...swimming, violin prep for recital, softball practices, the usual!
