Another Busy Week!

And another post with no new pictures! But it seems we are running around so busy between work, school, basketball and other kid activities that there isn't much time to take pictures!

Beverly had another busy week with practices for the school play, and this afternoon spent several hours at the school with student council for a fundraiser event. As busy as she has been ... this week will be even busier for her, with going to school, then straight to track practice, and then on to play practice. That pace will continue for 2 weeks until the play is over, and then she'll "only" have track practices and meets to run to and from after school. Her activities outside of school really keep her going.

This is a very busy week for me at work too, so there might not be any other news here this week! But as soon as we have some track meets and the winter weather starts to turn to spring, we'll have more reasons to take pictures. And of course we will have lots of pretty pictures from the beach when we head to Florida for spring break on March 20. By the time we return from that trip, winter will be over and spring will be underway!

Happy Valentine's Day

Well this week Beverly got to see a little bit of what Valentine's Day is in the U.S. At school there were flowers sent back and forth as a fundraiser for student council ... and the younger kids exchange small cards with candy in them. Beverly got into the action with TJ and Abby and took some of their style valentine cards to her friends. And she enjoyed a little heart shaped box of candy here at home too.

Yesterday we went to TJ's basketball game ... then to dinner and to a college basketball game nearby. Beverly is sleeping late this morning, and will have a day off school tomorrow due to a holiday, President's Day, where we celebrate the birthdays of our former U.S. Presidents. Mitch is off with the kids, but I have to work ... so no holiday for me!

High school girls basketball is over now, and Beverly would like to join the girls track team when they start their practices in about a week. So it looks like she will soon be busy again with practices 5 days a week and some sporting events!
