Battle of Friends

Meg's soccer team was looking alot better this week. They were working together and doing some great defense. Meg was excited to see that one of her friends, Peyton, was on the opposing team. They went to Kindergarten at Little People's together.

Kindergarten Mother's Tea

Friday Meg's class invited all of the mothers to join them for tea and cookies. They sang "A you're Adorable...", "I love you, a bushel and a peck..." and some other very cute songs. I was very glad I was there to see her class at their most adorable.

Brookfield Zoo

Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day. We spent the morning at the Zoo. Then we worked in the yard and cooking out with our neighbors for dinner.

Soccer Season is Here!

Its spring and soccer is in full spring. Meg's AYSO season has started and St. Cletus soccer starts today. Meg did a great job at her first game. She had alot of great defensive stops and is very good getting the ball down the field. Zach can't wait to get in the game. We signed him up yesterday to be on his own AYSO team in the fall.

Geocaching in the Celery Bog

This weekend our adventures took us down to West Lafayette for the annual Blue Night Auction. While Grandma and Elizabeth got all dolled up for the big event Uncle Bobby and Chris took Meg and Zach to the Celery Bog for a little hiking and of course treasure hunting (aka geocaching).

It was a beautiful day to be outside and there was lots to see. A number of swan and geese had their babies with them and the ducks had nests along the shore so more baby fowls are sure to come. We found 2 geocaches, the Thomas Say's Purdue Entomology Cache and the Looking at Wally World. The later cache was one of the best hiding jobs I had ever seen, but Uncle Bobby would not be deterred and eventually found it.

Birthdays Everywhere

It seems like April is the month for birthdays... Saturday we celebrated our neighbor's 80th birthday. Sunday we went to the Garfield Park Conservatory. They were celebrating the 100th birthday of the conservatory. We saw lots of cool things there. More birthdays this week...
