Easter 2008

This year we combined families from our block to have an Easter brunch. Similar to Thanksgiving last year we joined up with the McGhiey's, Wolborski's and Kowaleski's. Mark and Kimberly McGhiey hosted the celebration. After brunch the kids went outside to hunt for Easter eggs.

The Next World's Strongest Man: Part 2

While Kristi and I were watching Nora's first soccer game this year Sam and Hanna played a modified version of hide and seek. Hanna would sit in Sam's stroller pulling the shade visor open so it was hard to see her. When Sam would peek around the side Hanna would push the visor up surprising him. This lasted a short while until Sam was distracted and began pushing the stroller from behind while Hanna was still sitting in it. Since we were facing the playing field it didn't take much of a push to move the stroller onto where the kids were playing soccer. I moved the stroller so it ran parallel with the sideline and thought nothing of it until I turned back to check on Sam and Hanna. Sam had pushed Hanna nearly 20 feet and was still moving. It looked like a reverse truck pull from The World's Strongest Man competition.

Hanna's Soccer Team - Florida

This is Hanna's first year playing soccer through the YMCA in Raleigh. She has the same coach that Nora did last year.

Nora's Soccer Team - Breakers

This is Nora's second year playing soccer through the YMCA. She is on the 5th through 8th grade team this year which is much more competitive.

Girl Scout Cookies - Final Count 228

We want to thank everyone that supported Hanna and her goal of selling more boxes of cookies this year over last year. Hanna's goal was to sell 140 and she sold 228!

Kanki Birthday Party

Nora and Hanna were invited to a new friends birthday party that was held at Kanki, a Japanese House of Steaks and Sushi. Albeit an unconventional location for a kids birthday party, everyone had a blast.

Derby Car

Hanna and Dad built a derby car for the Girl Scout race this year. Needless to say, Mom's craftsmanship was missing;-) Hanna and Dad had a good time and look forward to building a faster car next year.
