State Competitor

Day 69 - Nathanael's school does a really cool thing for kids who qualify for any sort of state competition. They usually do it for athletes, but this time they did it for a Geography Champ! The whole school lined the hall to wish Nathanael well. He got to go through the hallways, giving everyone High 5's. Since Nathanael is a band student, the band even played for the celebration. It was so cool!!!

Savanna Day 2010

Day 68 - Savanna is the only one who would let me take a picture with the Colonel. I wonder how long she will continue to let me do so. For a description of our annual Savanna day celebration, see previous April 7th posts.

More Spring Flowers

Day 67 - The blossoms on our tree were prettier this year than I remember it ever being.

Easter Egg Roll

Day 66 - Savanna had fun at an Easter Egg Roll with some friends. In the first two pictures, I think that she looks like she is really trying to figure why in the world she is suppose to roll the egg with a wooden spoon.
It took a couple minutes, but she figured out what to do and tossed the egg across the yard.

Easter Eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 65 - A fun annual tradition - Decorating Easter Eggs!!!
