Creatures of Lake Frogerick

This kids were playing outside today and it would appear that Spring is already bringing out the creatures of Lake Frogerick this year ... namely aligators and giant frogs! (Okay, maybe I'm kidding about one of these; but definitely not on the other). Beware!

Stage for a Star

Our Irish dancing star now has her own, personal performing stage. With some special help from Grandpa ( who is visiting from out of town), we built a stage in our basement so that Abby can practice her jigs, hone her hornpipes, study her sets and rehearse her reels … all from the comfort of her own home. Unfortunately, earplugs are sold separately!

Andrew had a "Fine Arts Show & Open House" at his school tonight. It was a great showcase for his artwork from this school year. The theme was "The Far East Meets The Midwest." Abby did the filming on her Flip video camera.
