Week 22 - Fletch the Hockey Champion
Week 22 - Since Daddy spent the summer teaching the teen classes on Wednesday nights, and Poppy was cooking meals as well. We hung out in the teen house during church. Most of the time the kids went to their own classes but occasionally (typically if they started out asleep) they would come hang out with us. There was lots to do in there, and Fletch took a liking to the Air Hockey table. He and Violet would play heated tournaments back and forth; but it wasn't until Fletcher's show down with Poppy would he claim the championship title. |
We also danced like crazy some more. This time it's was to the delightful tune of Surfin' Bird. Violet and Fletch are just dancing fools, running all over the room, jumping on and off of the treadmill. Doing the funniest things and craziest dance moves. You'll only see such insanity here. Don't you know about the bird? Well the kids will tell you about the bird. |

Week 20 – The Old Man and the Book
Oh my, a week with no pictures. What was I thinking? It’s not the only week like this but luckily I think it’s only small number. This week was Daddy’s birthday. Violet (although I think was told to do so) came up to me and called me “Old Man.” This year would be the last of my twenties and looking back I had quite the eventful decade.
Much of this week had been spent studying on my part. The weather was still cold and playing outside with the kids was limited. We played board games and card games. The kids really loved dominoes. We watched movies either on the internet or from Red Box.
I listened to my Dave Ramsey CDs again to get a handle on budgeting, and Emily and I discovered creative ways to save money. Especially during the winter. If anyone is ever in a financial bind you need to contact your local government and see what they can offer. Call your billers and loaners and see what they can do. You cannot imagine just how helpful a phone call can be. So there’s a little advise for the unemployed.

Week 18 - A Visit with the Presidents
I'm sad to say that this place has closed. But on our drive home from Virginia Beach, in Williamsburg we discovered this great park. It was a dedication to the office of the President. They had bust of every President, standing 18 feet tall. We went and visited each one, taking pictures and reading bits about their lives. From Washington to Obama. Here a just a few that we saw, see if you guess who they are:
