Our Artist

Evy loves sketching these figures. I love this sketch that she did of our family. This fall she entered a contest for area 5th and 6th graders to design the holiday card for a local credit union. I was so proud of the effort she put into her drawing and I'm so annoyed that I forgot to take a picture of it! It was a red cardinal in an evergreen tree in front of the credit union corporate headquarters. She didn't end up winning which I think is just crazy! :-) 

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We enjoyed the day in Marion with Scott's family and didn't do much else over the long weekend. 

The Master Rigger

We call Will the hoarder. He wants to keep everything - every sticker, every card, every piece of paper. He has been known to drag cardboard out of the recycling bin and construct some random item using 3 rolls of tape in the process. And don't even think about throwing his creation away! His room would be stacked to the ceiling with cardboard creations if we didn't sneak things out to the trash occasionally.
