Final 18 in front row


Suzy wins School Spelling Bee


Suzy (in 4th grade) won the Spelling Bee in her Elementary School, beating out all the other 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. Her words were:
1) design; 2) measles; 3) campaign; 4) column; 5) ancient; 6) tortoise; and the championship word 7) precious.
Gabby (in 5th grade) was in the final 10. Her words were 1) sincere 2) loyalty 3) scribble, and the word that she got knocked out on was 4) rigid. She spelled ridged. Her principal has a weird accent, and she probably would have got it if she had asked the definition, but she was overconfident. Suzy also got a weird pronunciation of the word "column," but she asked for the definition and the word in a sentence.

Some pics of the kids


They are getting so BIG. They are lots of fun. They liked seeing Uncle Danny and the family.

Jazz Fanzz


I took the kids to the Jazz vs. 76ers game. Thanks to those who gave me the tickets. The kids had a great time. Evan loved the Bear and Sara loved the cheerleaders. She wished she could have met them, and the most boring part was "watching the players doing basketball". Sara and I got to go the the ESA and get the whole teams autographs except for Deron Williams and C.J. Miles because the line was too long.
Dan and I got to go to the Jazz Celtics game the week before and it was real fun.
