"Girl on the Run"

Since Feb06, Annie has been participating in an after school program called "Girls on the Run". About 8-12 girls meet twice a week with volunteer coaches (two great moms!). The goal of the program is to train for a 5k - all the while learning about nutrition/exercise, and having fun with your team. Good stuff! That 5k (3 mile run) was held a couple of Saturday's ago, on a windy day at the beach. Annie ran with her friend Brooke, and Brooke's mom - Tammy...and they all did a great job and had a blast with her friends.

Robot Time-Poppy Style

Each child in Charlie's pre-K class had to build a "robot" as part of an assignment. Charlie and Poppy worked hard on this creation Saturday afternoon, and as you can see, the results were...well...awesome! To quote Poppy, "It's not really a robot unless it has a way to move around."

Poppy was in charge of them for this 1st picture!
Laura was in charge for this one!

We don't know why there was a difference?

Annie Softball Update

Annie is having a lot of fun playing softball this spring with Creeks Softball. She plays on the 10-U "Mustangs", mainly plays first base, and has tried her hand at pitcher. More importantly than her skill, we are very proud of the way she carries herself on and off the field. She is a sweet girl, a good student, and cares a lot about her friends and teammates. Probably her biggest challenge is the fact that her dad (me) is the assistant coach for the team. I'm too hard on her at times, but we've had a lot of fun learning together.
