2nd grade program

The second graders at school put on a wonderful program for their families. There was lots of singing and even some dancing. The theme of the program was "Career Night." Alex is going to be a computer geek. I know that doesn't surprise you.

2nd grade field trip

Alex's 2nd grade class has been studying about caves and got to take a field trip to Inner Space Caverns. The whole class got to go. Here are Alex and Jacob, one of his best buddies: The rail car ride down into the cave:

A Favorite Place

We took a trip to Sea World during Spring Break. We had a great time but also learned an important lesson: Do not go to Sea World during Spring Break! It was so, so crowded. It was still a fun day though.

Basketball Buddies

Alex had a great time playing basketball for the first time this year. He played on a team through the YMCA called "The Heat."

Goodbye, Oscar. We will miss you!

We had some sad news at our house this week. Alex's beloved hamster, Oscar, died on Thursday morning. Alex was very sad about it but has handled the situation really well. He and Art found a special place in the back yard to bury him. Oscar was a great little guy and we will all miss him. Here are some pictures from when we first brought Oscar home in December of 2007.
