December Snow Storm

Well, we finally got snow. Last weekend we got about 10" of the wonderful white stuff. School was cancelled on Monday, so the kids only had two days of school this week. They are getting excited about Christmas. We had a few gatherings where they were able to open a few presents, so they are somewhat appeased.

Patrick also played the piano at the local mall for Christmas. Of course, it was the day it snowed, so not many people showed up, but he did a very good job.

Here he is with his music teacher.

Well, here is my update, there will be more to post when the kids open their presents.

Merry Christmas to all.

State Finals 2007

Well, Stevenson made the state finals, but they lost. They had a good season though. They were undefeated until the loss in the finals. They were playing the #1 ranked team in the state, so they were not expected to win. Kaitlyn performed in the halftime show, and as you can see from the pictures, it was at Ford Field.

Kaitlyn is on the left side of the picture, second from the back. (actually the furthest left in the picture)

The band was getting ready for the field here.

Here is Kaitlyn closer up.

Here is the team getting ready for the game and one of the plays. Stevenson is in the white.

I stayed to watch the Menominee Maroons play just after the Stevenson game. Menominee won their game. Here is Derek warming up before the game. (He's # 44)

Well, today we got our first snow storm of the year, but we also got about an inch of rain on top of it, so all of the snow is gone. Tonight is supposed to be icy, so we'll see if there is school tomorrow.
