It's Basketball Season!!!!
Austin is starting as a power forward on varsity.

Devoted fans:

The Rams first game was at Lyman against Orangewood Christian. Austin gets acknowledged for making the first points of the season with a pretty 3 pt shot in the first 5 seconds.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here on the hill.

A Great Day For Tennis!

Exhibiting normal behavior. It happens.

What a HOOT! I have never laughed so hard. My regret is that I did not have a movie of the half time show. Move over Magic Cheerleaders these guys are coming through.


Katie played a good game. Those seniors were tough though. They had tricky moves like putting the ball inside of their shirts so you couldn't see who had it.

Everytime I see a photo of these two the first thing that comes to mind is "Aren't they cute?"
These two together... I think of other things to say, such as "Oh dear."

Powder Puff Game Tonight!

Austin was showing us some of his more advanced maneuvers this morning. After his split he started walking funny and mumbling about stretching. I hope he recovers in time for the game this evening. It should be a good show.
(Jim says he is starting to get a little worried about number 2 son.)
Thanks to Ashley for her debut as a makeup artist. He looks real pretty Ash.

Alexander Springs Camping Trip:

The Shuttle Has Landed...

It is an amazing thing to me how I can be scurrying around with the tasks of the day and that sonic boom hits the roof and I get a catch in my throat. Maybe as one of the many Challenger witnesses I will never realize a shuttle landing without getting a little teary eyed. Welcome home astronauts!

Doug's new position with Bellsouth requires him to fly overseas. This are pics from Dubai and India.

Kicken it up a Notch.
It's been 8 months since Retto ended up on injured reserve and Fanny took over his job. Now he and Ashley are ready to get back in the ring. Good Luck you two! Oh and there is word that Ralph is coaching in Kentucky. Who knows maybe the whole team will be up and running again. We just need a nice cold spell up there so he will fly south. Another thing, dont think Fanny is retired because I have some fun things planned for her. I am reclaiming my pony! Kinda like a death wish you might say if you knew her well enough.

I sent Adam a photo of his tank and thought I would share.

Nice Shades !
Adam and Desiree shared a photo of their cool 3D glasses. They went to an Imax movie at the zoo in Minneapolis.

Looking forward to seeing these two at Christmas!

I helped Katie's Mom take photos of the cheerleaders last night. It was dark and they move around a lot so it was a nice challenge. Fun stuff!

Desiree's sisters: Ladybug, AKA Alaina and Tigger, AKA Alexa.


First Halloween

Hope everyone had a great Halloween.
