Catching Up

Recently, Max won 2nd place in Craighead county in the DAR essay contest. The topic was The Gettysburg Address and how it is still relevent today. We are so proud of him.


Max and several of his classmates and their teacher went to the awards ceremony. IS took 2nd, 3rd and both Honorable Mentions in the contest.

Molly is having her hair cut tomorrow. She is having 10 inches cut off and donating them to Locks of Love. She is really excited. She tells everyone "I'm having my hair cut and making a wig!" We are all ready for the big cut- the tangles are out of control!!
Then next Friday she is having her tonsils removed. We have been down this road before with Max so I'm stocking up on ice cream, jello and mini pancakes! Hopefully, she'll do great. We are doing it the Friday before Spring Break starts so she will only miss one day of school.:)Of course this means no trip for us-instead we are going to spend some more time in the yard doing ice storm damage clean up.:(

Both kids are getting ready to participate in the Swim for the Gold Swim-a-thon for their swim team-the Jets. They are swimming laps to raise money to attend the Olympic Swim Clinic with Josh Davis in May. (Let me know if you would like to be one of their sponsors!)

Enjoy this last snowy day! Jackie

I am so proud of Max. He is such a sweet boy. I miss seeing you all at church. You will have to post a picture of Molly once she get's her hair cut!! That's exciting. I once did that, but my hair had highlights and they didn't except it. Oh well, nice thought.
