Congraduation

Jordan's 6th Grade Graduation was today. Really nice ceremony and a fun party this afternoon at Johnson's Pond. Up next: High School.

W.W.Elem

First tournament in books. Jordan took home 4th and Jesse took home 3rd.

W.W.Elem

Let's get ready to apreciaaaaaate! Little Rams got to run out onto the mat before the big guys tonight and get announced. Cool.

DC Field Trip

Wow, this trip with Jordan was awesome. We had an absolute blast. Definitely need to go back and see the sites at a slower place to fully internalize everything. Amazing.

Track and Field Day

Jesse took 1st in all 3 of his events today; 50M, hurdles, and rocket throw. His rocket more than doubled the second place mark and went so far the crowd collectively went "Whoa!". Awesome job, Buddy, keep it up!

Philladelphia Field Trip

Chaperoned Jordan's group on the Philadelphia field trip today, that was pretty cool. The kids seemed to like the Franklin Institute the most as the tour was too much like learning or something. Think I'd like to go back without a schedule or guide and get a copy of the Declaration, some lemons, oh, and the glasses, can't forget the glasses.

Chorus Concert

Pretty impressed with the musical abilities of 5th graders and Napoleon Dynamite. Loved the accidental(?) dig about the budget, haha.

Your honor, your honor

Jordan made the honor's list! The school had a little program for them tonight in recognition of their efforts, which was nice for the kids. Cool beans, let's try for a threepeat.

Harrisburg Field Trip

Chaperoned Jordan's group on their 4th grade trip to Harrisburg yesterday. It was a really interesting day; however, I wish we had more time in the Capitol building though. I really can't believe they don't have the Commonwealth's Constitution on display or even a copy of it somewhere to discuss on the school tour they do, that's almost insulting to anyone who's even half educated. After that we checked out the museum which was pretty interesting and went to Lake Tobias for the afternoon. All in all, it was a fun trip, sans the entire bus singing Frozen. Looking forward to doing it again with Jesse.

Proud Parents

Jordan had a helluva good day. He was recognized for the 100 Club today at school and tonight he earned the Warrior Belt in Karate class. We're very proud of you, buddy, way to go.

Track and Field Day

Jordan got: 1st, 2nd, and 4th in hurdles, javelin, and jump rope.

Open House

Went to the open house at the new elementary school. Some cool things, some not so cool things. I'm sticking to my original assessment that this was completely unnecessary.

Starry, Noisy, Night

The elementary school had their xmas play today. It was pretty good. Rain said Jordan wasn't quite ready for walking out on stage in front of all those people in the morning show, lol. I made it to the afternoon one and he did great!

Open House

Open house at the elementary school tonight. Got to see Jordan's classroom, the library, computer lab, and caf-a-gym-a-torium. I nostalgia'd hard, that place hasn't changed a bit since I was in kindergarten. Well, it has gotten a bit smaller...

First day of school

Jordan started school today. He was ready, Mommy was not. He likes it, hope it stays that way. One day down, 2,159 to go, bud.
