Even MORE pictures

Another selection of Photos scanned tonight. Most of these my Dad took of the kids, though there are a couple that are school photos.

So what is going on? That beautiful spring weather we were having has turned sour and cold. Long walks are now bitter cold affairs, and not entirely enjoyed. The crisis in Japan has caused Disasterorders to go up. This weekend we watched Megamind with the kids, and went down to Josh's house for dinner with he and Nicki. Indian food was great, and long talks into the evening. It was a great time. Cleaning my office this even as Jennie went to Yoga without be because I had to work late due to increased orders. We put a few videos up on Youtube if you can believe it, for the game store. More of a hobby thing than anything serious, but it sure was fun. I wish there was more to say, but when you try to sum things up like this instead of writing them down every day, they lose their punch and I forget most of the details.

A few More Pictures

Some of these might be repeats, but worth seeing again!




Wallet Pictures

I found these old wallet pictures of my kids! I scanned them. The quality isn't great, but it is fun to see them.

Riley's ACT Test Scores



9th Graders take a test ACT to see how they will do. Meanwhile Asher took the REAL ACT a week ago, but we won't learn his results for a while. These are Riley's results, even though his test of course doesn't count, he's still two years away from taking the real one . His Composite Score is a 21. I think I got a 24 on my ACT (but hey, that was like 23-24 years ago, so don't quote my memory). He got a 19 in English, 22 in Math, 23 in reading, and a 18 in science. So he knews where to improve. his scores were actually high in comparison to the rest of the school. He scored better than 93% of the other students in the school, so he's in the top 10% of his class. And he has two years to work hard on this.

We talked today about going to school, and what he wants to do with his life. I'll have to tell you more about that next time I write! :)
