May 28th - J at Cadwallader Middle School Awards Ceremony. J came away with four medals. He was nominated by three of his six teachers for academics. J will be going to a new school in the fall. He will be attending Hyde Park; a magnet school for mathematics and engineering. He is an exceptionally bright kid.
May 24th - D had a friend birthday party where a couple of our neighbor kids and a boy from his school came. They played, ate ice-cream and cake, and opened presents. They couldn't swim because it was too cold.D's birthday was May 28th and he turned 8 years old. Our family is going to fly up to Utah at the beginning of next month where he will be baptized along with his cousin. D is very upset he has to wait a "whole nother month" to be baptized, but it will be worth the wait. We are looking forward to the trip to see many of our family and friends.
May 16th - "Alice in Wonderland"
A's grade put on a play they had been practicing for many months in Alice in Wonderland. She was a flower "the cutest flower of the bunch" and she definitely was a flower with attitude. She did a great job.
May 10th - "Titan Softball Team Party"
A and her best friend. Her best friend is moving to Utah in June and I'm sure there will be many tear drops from A when that happens. The two, as you can see, are joined at the hip. They want to spend all their free time with one another.

April 30th - A's teacher came to one of her games. It was cold and windy. She is an amazing teacher. How many teachers would go out of their way and freeze to death to support two little girls? She is amazing!
J #8 - Finished playing on the Boltz at the end of May before it started to get real hot. Their teem came in second. In the playoffs, they lost and were eliminated when they played the first place team. We are sad to know that his head coach will not be coaching in the NYS league because he is going to coach for Shadow Ridge H.S. Needless to say Shadow Ridge is getting an awesome football coach next year.D and J are both going to play tackle football in the fall.
