And a ring picture because Morgan wanted to show Meggie her ring

Piano Recital

Yes,I know it's blurry, but I didn't get a non-blurry one. So suck it up and get over it. :)

All the piano students with their teacher

Outside time...

My little golfer....he finds Josh's golf gloves and puts them on just to wear around (and yes, that's a pink golf club- it's Morgan's)

And a picture just for fun!

Les chats

One of my sweet Fiona. She looks pretty ticked here though.

And of the baby cat (Garfield). I'm supposed to be getting rid of him (per Josh) but I'm finding I've become quite attached. Never realized I was such an animal person. Anyone want him?

Bridging to Brownies

Today Morgan's Daisy troop had their 'Bridging' Ceremony to Brownies. Morgan and two other friends did the intro for everyone.

Josh and Jack chillin:
Morgan waiting on one side of the bridge to 'cross-over':
And while she is crossing:

BTW- you can see Morgan's shiner as she crosses the bridge. Last Sunday she ran and tripped in the hallway- falling against the wooden door casing- ending up with a black eye and bruise going down the side of her head.

We're baaaaaaack!

I was planning on heading to VA beach for an LDS Homeschool Conference by myself. After some discussion Josh and I decided that he would come with me and we'd make it a little more of a trip. We went from Wednesday until Saturday and mom watched the other three kiddos (Gracie went with us!)!

Here is the view from our room:

We left early on Wednesday and took our time driving up there. We checked into the hotel and then went out to an (expensive!) seafood buffet. I'm not a big seafood eater so I tried crab legs for my first (!!!) time. Not a big fan- they're too much work for what you get. I'll stick to my crab cakes. Thursday was the first day of the conference. Josh golfed in the morning at a golf course called Hell's Point and I attended the conference. (www.ldsehe.org) Friday we both attended the conference and then went out for a nice dinner at Ruth Chris steakhouse (yum!) Saturday we headed home and had a fine trip home except for the LONNNNNNNNG delay on I-85. Stand still traffic. Ick! All in all we had a wonderful time!

I was pretty bored on the drive:
