Charitable Acts

Yesterday Andy, the kids, and I woke up early to go to a 5K run/walk to benefit a 3 year old boy with lymphoma. We don't know the boy or his family but we were so impressed by how the community came out in November to support Hans at his run that we wanted to be a part of this one as well. The kids did pretty well but Morgan started out too fast for her and got pooped too soon. I ended up piggy-backing her off and on so that we could make the 3 miles in less than an hour. To be fair to Adrian, Andy and I took turns piggy-backing him now and again as well.



At the start of the race a lady was walking around with a plastic box so that people could put their keys in there while they ran. Morgan saw her going through the crowd calling out "keys" and Morgan looked up at us and said, "I want some!" It was cute! She didn't even know what the lady had but she wanted some. In about 9 years it won't be so cute because she will really want some keys that go to a real car.

After that Andy was still in a giving mood so he drove up to Conroe to help with Habitat for Humanity. Anadarko is helping to sponsor a house up there so Andy spent 4 1/2 hours framing windows and doing roofing. As you can imagine he was pooped last night.

While Andy was helping to construct a house, the kids and I were constructing a cake for him for Father's Day. Morgan and Adrian enjoyed putting the ingredients together, decorating it, and licking the frosting off the spatula.

Report Card and Haircut

Morgan received her final report card for first grade in the mail yesterday. She received a blue ribbon for making the "A" honor roll. She didn't receive ribbons for no absences this time though. She was sick 3 days and we took 5 days off for the trip to Disney. It was worth it though. Her cumulative grades for the year for each subject are as follows: Reading - 99, Writing - 99, Spelling - 99, Math - 96, Social Studies - 98, and Science - 99. She received "E's" for Music, Art, and PE. As always I am very proud of my "little".

Morgan decided that she wanted to have bangs so we took her to Cartoon Cuts this morning and she got bangs and a trim. I wasn't too keen on the idea of bangs because they require maintenance but I have to admit that it is very becoming on her. She can't wait to show everyone her new look.



Morgan and Adrian had their first violin lesson with Leota Boesen Monday afternoon. They were both very well behaved and said that they liked it. They have 3 more lessons during the trial period at the end of which they will decide if they want to continue or not.
