Yellow Belt

Carson has now moved up to a yellow belt status in Karate...
He was so proud of his advancement that he has been working extra hard during practices. Notice the two black lines on his belt? Those are from tests that he has taken during class and done well in.
Way to go Carson!!!!

Oh! So Close!

Gary Pelkofsky

It is with a heavy heart that I post this blog tonite...
Earlier today my amazing Uncle passed away at the age of 52. A few weeks ago he went in for a simple knee surgery and there were some complications.
Usually I am full of words and things to say. But tonite those words have escaped me. Once again I am reminded of just how precious and fragile our life here on earth truly is. I have spent the last couple of hours looking through photographs and reminiscing of days gone by. And while my heart is breaking, I am deeply grateful for the time I have spent with him and for the wonderful things he has taught me and my family. His life was a gift and a blessing to us all. He will be missed tremendously.
We love you Gary!!! May you fly with the angels!!!

Perfect Fall Day

Our Little House Guest

Carson was so excited when he found this little praying mantice in our front yard. He carried it around with him everywhere he went for a couple of days. He thought it would be great if he kept him as a pet. But we convinced him to let him go back to his family where he belongs.

Cole's Concert

Wow!!! Where has the time gone? It's been quite a while since I've posted. But I'm here now, so here goes...
On August 30th Cole had the opportunity to perform a few songs at the Music School. He sang Surrender and Black Hole Sun. Then he got to sing and play the guitar for Born To Be Wild. Could he be the next big rock star? We think so...

Madison's Birthday Party

Yesterday was the day the kids had been looking forward to for weeks. It was Madison's BIG birthday party. Aunt Celeste put together the best home made carnival I've ever seen. There were booths set up where the kids could earn tickets towards prizes. Balloon races, Ring Toss, Fishing Pond, Dart Games, Penny Pitches, and much more. There was even a clown that stopped by and painted the kids faces. We stayed up late having a blast and celebrating Madison's 6th party. Hip!Hip!Hurray!!!
