February 2018 Flickr Upload

 Looks like it wasn't a very busy upload month... Here's my faves - it was tricky to learn how to put everything on, especially the sleeves!

I can't believe I'm getting behind again on my proofing, but these are the latest I have ready.  As usual, my favorites are here, and the entire upload you can see here.

 I started repainting the living room.  It is such a nice, warm caramel now.  I love it!

March 2016 Flickr Upload

As always, you can see the full upload here on the PhotoStream, but I have included a few of my favorites here.  It is always so hard to pick!!

014's First Track Meet.  It was indoors.  That was very cool!  Wow, have we learned a lot about competitive running since then.  He had a good season (he didn't think so) and did manage to earn enough points to get his varsity letter.

He was also selected to go to the All - County Honors Band.  Not many Freshmen get to go.  The guest conductor was from Ball State.  She picked some amazing music that was very challenging and they met it with force!  If you closed your eyes, it was hard to tell it was kids playing!

He also had a jacket, but was very hot by the end.  So very proud of him!

And very proud of how they help the grandparental unit.  The brakes needed bleeding.

It's beginning to look a lot like moving day.  We packed and packed and packed, and still couldn't keep up with how fast everyone carried stuff out of the house!

Now officially 015!

So thankful to all of these people for helping us move!  We were all hot, sweaty and tired, and got some very yummy sushi to make up for it!  Still had a full day of work the next day, but we got it done!

Our way of taking the height chart with us.  I'll miss all the wonky writing, but this is still cool.  YOu can see they grew like 2 feet living there!

And I love how 012 can still find ways of doing goofy stuff, even when it is kind of serious.  I found several boxes that he had embellished for me.  It makes my heart so happy!

April 2015 Flickr Upload

As always you can see the entire upload here and a few of my faves here...

 My sister always makes Jello Eggs for Easter.  They now "demand" it.  Whenever I tell them we'll be going over for Easter, it is the FIRST question they ask "Will Aunt Kelli make Jello Eggs?".  How can she refuse....

My brother, son and Father all being goofy... The apples don't fall far....

My foot, in Reflexology class.  So much fun, so cool!

This year 011 decided to run track.  Our first foray into school sports.  It was educational.  He did not do as well as he had hoped, but he did learn a lot about himself and what he wants to change for next year.  Glad he's not giving it up.  They ran 6th graders in with the 7th & 8th graders, so it made for some long nights.

After the County Math fair, I got a chance to see his locker.  He is somewhat willingly indulging me...

What we love to do!  I love how you can see the reflection of my suit in this picture!

But this is a better shot of the planes.

The crazy Gray Hair'd Hooligans.  Love these guys, they are awesome, even the one that is missing!

For class we did an Herbology Week.  On the last day we went to Mounds State Park and walked around to identify various herbs in the wild.  It was a ton of fun.
