Becket on the other hand or should I say foot? He has been growing like a weed and has almost reached my height and has surpassed my foot size.
Micah has been not looking forward to her piano recital, but she made it through just fine.
She has also been working hard to finish her Egyptian report for class.
She even interviewed my neighbor, Susan Stevens, who has visited that far away land for some additional facts.
Volleyball wrapped up and we now have our Saturdays back!
Becket is preparing for summer by practicing his TV watching skills. Don't know why he has the oven mitts, but he's Becket and kind of stays cool that way.
Foo sits on me anyway he can. Doesn't matter what position I am in, he will find a way. I will pretend to be annoyed, but I secretly love it.
Cub Chorus concert done. I barely captured a shot of Micah's group performance with the orchestra before she dashed off the stage.
Fun end of the year activities.
The girls completed their play for drama. Micah was Sally and Gretchen was Snoopy for their Charlie Brown play.
Gretchen made us proud by cleaning house at the awards assembly. She was awarded 4 awards, including the highest honor for top student and a fifty dollar scholarship. She decided to look smarter by accessorizing with my glasses.
Annual shaving cream fight after school.
Gone are my quiet regular boring days, and hello fun summer days with the kids!
That's if we have enough energy!

Toward the end of 1918, Faysal established an Arab government in Damascus, Jordans for Cheap, with territory under his control including lands east of the Jordan River. The Allies, including the British, however, rejected Faysal's demand for independence across the Arab world, and, in response, the 1920 Conference of San Remo created two mandates, awarding the one over Palestine to Britain and the one over Syria to France. These mandates effectively separated the area now covered by Jordan and Israel from that of Syria. In November 1920, Abdullah rallied forces to attack the French, who had removed Faysal from the throne of his newly founded kingdom in Syria. By April 1921, however, the British, who had subsequently divided their mandate into Palestine and Transjordan, had persuaded Abdullah to become emir of Transjordan.
Never losing sight of his vision for a unified Arab country covering most of the Arab Middle East, Abdullah gradually succeeded in loosening the grip of the British mandate over Transjordan. By the time the country had gained its independence in 1946, Abdullah was responsible for running the country in all areas except defense, finance, and foreign policy. Located north of the capital city of Amman, Jerash - as the city has been named since the end of the nineteenth century - is a beautifully preserved Roman city that formed part of the Decapolis, a commercial confederation of ten cities established by the Romans. Decapolis means "ten cities" in Greek. Spread over what is today northern Jordan, Syria, The New Jordans, and the area west of the Jordan River, these ten cities were linked by powerful commercial, political, and cultural interests. http://www.thenewcheapjordans.com
