a year behind-christmas 2016

a year behind-halloween

oh halloween-anneliese gets the prize for spookiest looks again this year...

at least a year behind-the royals parade

i love the idea of this blog-but keeping it updated as proven to be challenging. i found myself sitting waiting at grant's piano lesson yesterday with a computer that was not out of battery. so i finally put together some collages from last fall and this winter. i felt a little like i was putting pictures in an album and it was fun to revisit some of the activities and events that flew by...reflection feels like a luxury item.  compiling and sorting are necessary but not always given priority.

let's start with the royal's parade-super fun time. we could hope that the kids remember this event forever-or we could hope it just blends in with all the other world series wins the royals have in their lifetime!

track day 2016

the 2nd annual piper youth track day was a huge success. i am so proud of bobby-as he developed the idea and then organizes and runs it all. he had 138 kids come out this year-for this free event. his track kids run the races and games and were cheering on the elementary school kids like they were the best they had ever seen. beautiful evening-and lots of wins for the lockwood kids. i am sure we have many more track meets in our future-but this was a great one!

egg hunt 2016

easter morning it was snowing and wet-so the egg hunt was a week later in the warm breeze and glowing sun :)
