Eliza had her first High School track meet at the Richland Jamboree.  She jumped 12' 1.5" and ran the 400 in 70 seconds.  We are excited to watch her compete in lots of track meets to come!

 

Fablehaven author and illustrator

Thursday, March 16, 2023

The author (Brandon Mull) and illustrator (Brandon Dorman) of the Fablehaven series (and The Candy  Shop War) came to Amon Creek.  They were there after school so Talia was very excited to meet them and have them sign her Candy Shop War book.  She loved the Fablehaven series...and now Lydia is reading them.

Brandon Dorman took some time to show the kids the process he used to illustrate.  His drawings were pretty incredible!

Brandon Dorman, Lydia, Karisa, Talia, Brandon Mull.  They were pretty excited to meet these talented men!  

 

Visit with Grandpa Great...

Saturday, March 11, 2023

We went to visit Grandpa Great!  We brought pizza for lunch with us and had a nice visit around the table that is in the foyer at the end of the hall from Grandpa's room at Highgate.

Then we visited in his room for awhile.  We got to bring him the final product of Grandma's History.  Mom and I have been working on it, with lots of help from Grandpa, for awhile now.  It was exciting to show him how it all turned out!

We always love our visits with Grandpa Great!

Baby bunnies...

Wednesday, March 8, 2023

Some of the guys at work found baby bunnies under a palette in the warehouse.  They caught them so Darran took pictures to show us.  The next day we found out that one of the guys took them home, they got out of the box, and they couldn't find them!  They are hiding in their house somewhere?
