Jonah (2) and Elijah (3) on their sled. They live in Minnesota, so lots of snow for them to play in.

I just recieved a photo from Amanda in North Dakota. This was taken at Thanksgiving 2005. What a great looking family!

Back row: Mark (dave's brother) holding Jonah, Heidi (Mark's wife) holding Elijah, Sue (dave's mom), Amanda, JIllian (Walt's better half), and Tanner (Walt's son).

Here is my girl all dressed up in her Brownie Uniform.

She has her meeting tonight, the girls are making placemats for the Meals-on-Wheels shut-ins. The Senior Center is having a big Valentine luncheon for them, so the kids get to help decorate. I am sure the girls will have a lot of fun doing this.

New Year's weekend Mom, Grace, and I met Sylvia at a coffee shop in Grants Pass. These are some of the photos Sylvia took. Grace looks so adorable.

Last night we attended Sam & Michelle's band concert. They did very well for beginners. Uncle Ernie and Aunt Luanne also came to cheer on the kids.

Michelle sang in the choir. They sounded pretty good. There is one brave boy in there with all those girls. Michelle's favorite song they sang was "Side by Side." Their choir teacher dances while he up in front, very funny.

The Mt. Storm Beginning Band played quite a few songs. The flute section (includes Michelle) played "Excerpt from Rio Bravo." Sam with his baritone played a trio with an alto sax and a flute. They played "Au Claire de la Lune."

We are so proud of the kids for all their practicing. Well done!

This is the most recent photo of the kids, from December 2005. David-16, Sam-13, Michelle-12, Gabby-10, and Grace-6.

What are the kids doing:

David bought a PS2 and has been spending every waking hour on it.

Sam is practicing his baritone (earplugs PLEASE) and Michelle the flute. They have a Choir/Band concert Thursday 19, 2006.

Grace joined Brownies and her first week had to start selling Girl Scout cookies. She loves all the girls and the socializing. They have lots of fun activities already in the planning stages. Should be good year.
