Holiday Concert

Andy performed in Prospect's Holiday Concert this week. After a rescheduling due to a snow day, the concert was held on Wednesday the 10th. It makes me so proud that Andy loves to sign up for everything! He performed in Orchestra (on his violin), the Prospect Pipers (a recorder ensemble) and even had a small speaking part in the musical piece! It was a great show - we couldn't help but notice how grown up he and his classmates are now. It was a joy to watch!

The Wonders of Facebook

Facebook is amazing. Period. I've been having so much fun lately through facebook - reconnecting with friends from CampBenFrankel... a college friend who is in Thailand now.... and many high school friends. Today I had the wonderful surprise of hearing from the girl who was my very best friend when I was 12. Stacey and I met in 1st or 2nd grade (I think) and were so close until my family moved from Alabama to Illinois. This little trip down memory lane sent me to my memory box to dig out a few treasures :)

The picture is one that Stacey sent me after I moved I think. Stacey is in the yellow on the left. I wish I could remember all the names, but my memory isn't that good! I hope Stacey might be able to fill in the blanks for me :)

I'm not sure who is next to Stacey (maybe Sarah?), but I know the girl in the pink in the middle is Stephanie (? I think). Next to Stephanie is... hmmm not sure - but I think it's Elizabeth? The head at the very top is Anna? Gosh this is tough! The little head to the right of Elizabeth is Amy and the girl on the far right is Gretchen. Hmmm... am I even close?!

This scan is a page from the diary I kept as a little girl. I remember so clearly that Stacey and I would always write in our diaries when we had sleepovers! At the time we would laugh and laugh - and now I'm so glad I've kept it! We were 8 that year..... it makes me smile to realize that my Adam is that age now

I'm on Ravelry...

Just testing here.... I joined Ravelry.com. It's a knitting community. Anywho, it will supposedly import my blog so I figured I'd give it a test entry.

By the way, if anyone else is on ravelry and would like to look me up, my nickname is nayknitter :)

Election Day

"All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong.”
Henry David Thoreau

Schuster's Farm

October 2008 - A beautiful Saturday.... We spent the whole afternoon at Schuster's Playtime Farm with Grandma and Bob. The highlights of the day were the corn maze, playground, farm animals, hayride, and picking pumpkins. Happy Fall!

Testing?

hmmm..... I really should start updating this...
