October Update

Well, it's October 22nd and I'm going to update the blog. Stevenson has gone 9-0, this is the first time that they have gone undefeated since 1976. They start the playoffs this Friday, they play Plymouth. We wish them luck and Kaitlyn will be on the field doing her color guard routine.

Patrick's play practice is progressing and they are getting ready for the play in a few weeks. However, they did get some bad news last Monday, the church they have been at for years has a new pastor and he decided that he did not want them practicing there anymore. As a result, we now have to drive much further for the play practices. Oh well, hopefully the director finds a new home closer to us.

One more bit of bad news, Norma's mom, Yvonne, had an accident three weeks ago and broke her pelvis. She was in the driveway of her house, getting her cane in the car, and the lady that was driving the car got out and forgot to put it in park. The car rolled and knocked Yvonne down, causing three fractures in her pelvis. She is now in a rehab home recuperating from the injury.

I'll keep you updated.

Homecoming 2007 - SHS

It's homecoming tonight at SHS. Kaitlyn and several of her friends are going to go to the homecoming together. She is very excited.

This was her updo.

She had her braces removed just this week, after nearly two years.

The girls met at our house and then went to East Side Mario's for dinner before the homecoming.

Here are a few pictures of the girls.

Last night for the homecoming game, Stevenson beat Walled Lake Central to go 7-0. They are # 14 in the top 25, Menominee is # 10. You better look out Derek!!

This is the Sophomore class float.

Update for the new school year

Well, it's been a while, so I'm going to update the blog. A lot of things have been going on, school started, catechism started, etc...

This is the first day of school. Don't they both look very happy!!

We also went apple picking and the kids picked apples and played with farm animals.

They'll make excellent farmers someday.

Kaitlyn is in Color guard this year, and here is the whole marching band. She is on the right side, usually the second from the back.

Kaitlyn is the third from the left in this picture.

Stevenson High School is currently undefeated, as of this weekend.

Here's a video of Kaitlyn in the opening ceremony for SHS.

I'll update more as things happen. I've neglected to mention Patrick. He is continuing in his play, this time they are doing a musical, Edwina. And, he is taking keyboard lessons.

Here is a little nine second clip from rehearsal from Patrick's last play...

Weekend at Hideaway Cove

Here are some pictures or Hideaway Cove. We went there for a long weekend just before Labor Day.

Update

Another update.

I didn't get to post the pictures yet. I've been busy and haven't had the chance. School starts next Wednesday, September 5th. We've been getting things ready for school with school shopping and everything. Hopefully this weekend I'll get to posting pictures.

I've also been very busy getting my fantasy football team together. We draft 16 players and one of my players has already been cut by his team, so I'm starting with 15. But, that's the breaks. I have a few good running backs and a good wide receiver, but not a solid team. I'm hoping to put up some good numbers this year. Last year I took second in my conference.

Update

Just posting a update. I haven't been able to take a picture of Kaitlyn's room because she doesn't keep it very clean. I should be able to get a clean picture later this week. Once I get a picture I will post it. The room turned out very good. Two walls are brown and two are pink with white ceiling. I just finished up the pictures and shelves.

We've been very busy with shuttling kids to band practice and robotics class at the rec center. Kaitlyn has one more week of band practice and then the first home game at the color guard. Can't wait to see it. Patrick us up north with a friend this week, so we won't see him until Friday.

As soon as I get pictures I will post them.

Update

Well, it's August and I am now going to work on Kaitlyn's room. We are going to paint it pink and tan, the latest colors apparently. The biggest problem I'm having right now is the wallpaper border and getting it off the walls. Not an easy task.

Once I complete the room, I will post pictures of it. Here's a picture of the bedspread that we are trying to match.
