These are just from the backyard – with the point’n’shoot. Next year we will do Twin Peaks with the DSLR! Promise!

Hello October!

06 Oct 2011

What a cute idea – from Martha of course…

(Here’s a screen shot in case the link doesn’t endure:)

Oscar is planning to be an Archer from the Roman Empire. (Specifically differentiated from Robin Hood.)
Lucy will be a Kitty Cat.

More details to follow, when we get back from New York. Everything in our world is now On Hold until we return from vacation. (i.e. Lucy’s Birthday, Halloween, etc.)

Oscar will be journaling his trip – hopefully I can share that here. Stay tuned…

Walkathon – 1st Grade Ed.

02 Oct 2011

Thank you to all our sponsors! Oscar raised over $150 for the school. He walked 16 laps, which was 6 more than last year.

If you too would like to help out Oscar’s school, put a comment below and we’ll reserve you some raffle tickets! (The raffle and auction are in March, 2012)

The fundraising ‘trophy ceremony’ (11/17):

Clarendon Color

Lucy found her favorite color, yellow, in a pool of light today. It was coming through a stained glass turret at the school. I snapped a few of Lucy enjoying her discovery.

24 Sep 2011

We had so much fun! Oscar tried really hard, so I’m very proud of him. What he lacked in experience, he made up for in tenacity.

This is not remotely the whole team. And, they wisely split us into two games side by side, so everyone get lots of playing time. Look how fired up Oscar is!
