CONGRATS PETE!!

Pete called me yesterday during his lunch break to let me know that he is now the Head Coach for the Jackson Broncs basketball team. He has been such an awesome JV coach for years now and the head coach job was given to another man a few years ago, but now it is his turn. He went in to his interview with a "business plan" according to Cassie. The panel was so impressed. A few years ago he went to help a paraplegic man stack wood with Cassie and her dad. He was not real happy about spending an entire day helping out, but he didn't complain (maybe a little)...this man was on the panel that hired him. I am so proud of him, he is a wonderful man and the best uncle my kids could have!! Love you Pete. Here is a photo of him surfing in Costa Rica a few weeks ago.

My little trouble maker

Well, the owl has left the nest...We still hear them around, but we don't know what happened. They might have been a little upset with us checking them out all the time.

Can you believe this little angel had to go to the principal. Anna is her preschool teacher and had to send her down because she pushed a little boy, twice. I just laughed, probably the wrong response when Anna told me, but COME ON!! She is 3!! Anna is pregnant, by the way...my first sibling to have children. We are so excited for them.

A week ago Lizzy got into my jewelry and took my diamond tennis bracelet (a Christmas gift from John) and lost it. I have searched everywhere and no luck. She can't remember what she did with it. Hopefully it will turn up one of these days.

Miscellaneous

Here are a few photos from the past weeks. We have a new visitor in our back yard, Mrs. Owl. She is a Great Horned Owl and everyone is fascinated by her. Lizzy and Ian decorating eggs. AND..a photo of my new tub. It is peat mud, although it does look like something else. It smells like pine trees because of the pine needle extract and is so energizing. My friend calls me and the first thing she asks is "are you in the bathtub?"
