I Am a Slacker

This blog has been badly neglected of late. I suppose that if I put my mind to it, I could come up with a selection of good excuses, but there just aren't any. Yes, work has been busy. Yes, I have been spring cleaning. Yes, I have other projects that I have been working on. But yes, I have also spent time on my computer without posting anything new. So there you have it. I am a slacker.


So to make up for my laziness, I have over this past weekend scrapped various and assorted photos that have come to me lately. I hope that the kids enjoy them.


Maddie has a friend named Tabby. David tells me that this photo was taken on one of their walks around their neighborhood, and Maddie was taking her friend for a ride in the little car that the girls have. Looks like they are having a good time on their drive.



This photo arrived in my email box with the explanation from David that he had fixed Boston's hair before school, and wanting to know if it looked alright, he took photos and sent them to Staci, who was already at work. I think he did a pretty good job of it.




I love this photo of Jacob. He is doing what kids are supposed to do. Playing. And he seems to be doing it well and having fun.




Here is another photo that I stole from Jill's Facebook page. Zach is in a chess club at school, and he won this silver medal in "Grandmasters of Chess." I am so proud of you, Zach. Way to go!! He is eight years old and wins medals playing chess. I am 62 years old and have never been able to figure out the game. Guess he takes after his parents on this one, not his grandmother. I usually claim genes from the Mathey side of the family when one of my grandkids does something good. Guess I can't this time.




Boston and Maddie are taking dance classes this year. Boston called me to tell me to mark a date on my calendar because that is when there will be a dance recital. It is in June, and I have it duly noted. These are photos of Boston in her dance costumes, and I can hardly wait to see her dance wearing them.


So now I have hopefully redeemed myself and can shed the "slacker" title. There are many more photos to scrapbook, and I am working on them. No excuses. Stay tuned.
