Vacation Update

Vacation continues to go nicely. I really needed some time off. The last part of the year at work was rough. I still haven’t decided if I am going to go back to work on the 2nd of January or delay until the 7th. I had been thinking the 2nd, but the kids are trying […]

Savannah’s Cheerleading Squad Takes 2nd

In a VERY long day, Savannah’s cheerleading squad earned a second place in the regional cheerleading competition. Her squad competed in the normal category. There was also an elite category where more stunts, tricks and stuff are done. Unfortunately, this whole event seemed extremely disorganized and haphazard. It was very frustrating for Sean and I […]

Busy Days Ahead

Just when one seems to be relaxing into the lovely fall weather here in Arizona, bang, we go and get busy. Sean and Savannah have only two more weeks left in the regular season of football, but this occupies a significant portion of our Saturdays and three evenings a week for Suzanne and the kids. […]

Summer Dance Recital – Night 2

Whew… The Summer Dance Recital is over. It was two long nights of dancing. That said, it was still very enjoyable – it just didn’t leave much time for anything else this weekend. The big night for the kids was the Friday night dance performances as they had many more dances than last night. Savannah […]

Summer Dance Recital

Last night was the first night of Suzanne’s and the kids’ summer dance recital. The show was about 2 1/2 hours but quite enjoyable. Savannah did something like 11 dances last night. She was a busy girl changing costumes all night. She performed dances from genres such as lyrical, jazz, hip hop, Mexican folklorico and […]

Suzanne and the Kids Make the Local News for Dance Competition Results

You probably remember recent posts from me about Suzanne and the kids with their Showstopper Dance Competitions. They recently competed in the regional competition in Phoenix, AZ and brought home a nice haul of trophies and awards. This week, the local paper ran a story about their activities in the competition. You can read the […]

Family Update 3/26/07

It sure has gotten busy around here lately. I sure wish I had some time to take a little bit of a vacation, but alas… Sean and Savannah are on spring break vacation this week. They don’t have any big plans except to have some friends over and go visit some friends. I am also […]

Nice Arizona Weather

This is a great time of year here in Arizona. The weather is just fabulous. Last week and this week, the temperatures in Tucson have been in the mid-80’s. In Sonoita, that equates to about upper 70’s. It’s very nice and comfortable. I think the winter, what we get here in Arizona, is past. The […]

Showstopper Photos Uploaded

As detailed in a post yesterday, I have uploaded the images provided by Mr Will to my site from our recent trip to Phoenix for the Showstopper Dance Competition. There is not nearly as many pictures as Suzanne led me to believe, but obviously, he was more interested in taking them of his family than […]
