7th Grade Awards

 Sarah shined yesterday at the 7th grade awards ceremony.  She received Academic Excellence Award (straight A's all year!), the Volleyball Award and the Pride Respect Award (surprised her teachers haven't seen her eyes roll!) 
 She was so happy to have all her Nanas and Papas share in her special day.
We are so proud of all her hard work this year!  Way to go, Sarah!

Memorial Weekend 2015

 We spent Memorial Weekend 2015 with three other families in a lake house on Lake Bonham.
 The kids had so much fun on the boat.
 They are ready to move to the lake.
 The water was freezing but they didn't care!
 Catherine trying to catch a fish.
We had fun inside too as the weather has been very wet in Texas.
My dad grew up in Bonham and his parents are buried here.  We took the kids to visit their great grandparent's grave site for the first time.  It was nice to drive around town and see my grandmother's old house.

Heard Museum

 Catherine completed her last Heard Museum class yesterday.  All four of our children have done the two year preschool program.  Eric also completed this program when he was a kid!  The Heard Museum is a wonderful place and we hope the family tradition continues.
 This is Catherine's bunny that Papa sponsored for her.
 Catherine made wonderful friends in her class.
 She is going to miss seeing them every week.
 Mrs. Judy gave us these pictures taken during her class this semester.

First Home Win

Elizabeth and her softball team got their first home win last night!  Proud of these girls and all their hard work.  It has been a tough season being a new high school with no seniors.  They are the first new high school in their district to compete on the 5A level and play a varsity schedule the first year!  Look forward to watching these girls grow together as a team.  Elizabeth is back row left by coach.
