Fire & Ice, Game 2

A week ago, we featured a lot of video from Lindy and Oakley’s games, but we mostly had stills from Aspen’s game.  Not so this week.  For your perusal, we have nearly 10 minutes of exciting video from Fire & Ice.  This features good moments from most of the team… …

Aspen writes too… about Camp Chippewa

I’ve written on several occasions about a little writer named Oakley, but she isn’t the only one in this house.  No, no, Aspen is quite a writer herself (she just doesn’t know it yet). This is a piece she wrote for school under the assignment “My Labor Day Weekend” On …

Sorry it’s been a while since I posted… I’m gonna drop several on you in a row, so that should be fun, at least! Last night was Aspen’s church musical, entitled Power Play. I wasn’t in the mood to video the whole thing, but I thought I’d try to catch …

Soccer Returns…

And the Purple Pandas return to the field. It’s early in the season, the result was a 6-1 loss, but there signs of hope for the Pandas. The second half was a 1-1 tie, so that’s something to build on.
