baby chicks

ok, all you Iowa farm kids...who remembers raising baby chicks? Kate's kindergarten class hatched some this year. The kids LOVE those chicks. Matt, my husband, also grew up on a farm and has fond memories of bringing baby chicks home in a box each year. We babysat the chicks one weekend. Matt tried to sign us up for adopting them, but we were too late. (yes, in Portland you can have some chickens, but no roosters.)

It's Nearly the End of Another School Year!

Nathan receiving $2000 scholarship
High School Musical "Back to the 80's"


This is the last week of school for the kids here. This last month has been a busy one . . . a high school play and a luncheon for scholarship receipients. Nathan starts working at the Boy Scout camp for the second year on May the 27th for eight weeks, returning home in time to start school next August.
