Harlem Globetrotters

We went to see the Harlem Globetrotters a couple of weeks ago. I've always wanted to see them in person. The kids had grins on their faces almost the whole time...

Oops...Photos from Christmas '09

I just found some photos on one of Rod's camera cards from the Christmas '09 timeframe. Thought I'd post a few...

Mr. Julio

Mr. Julio didn't last very long as one of the counselors at the after-school program. He wasn't a bad person, but he didn't really jive with the kids. Some time after he left, Evelyn made a paper doll of him that cracked me up. I found it in her backpack--it must have been her way of expressing frustration with him. :)

It has a lot of details in it that reflect the core traits that she observed in him (and didn't like). To name a few: booger nose and red eyes (he was always sniffly), a baby bottle (he was kind of whiny for someone who wasn't 3 years old), garish clothing, and a skeevy mustache.

Spring Break Part II

We spent some time at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens during our Spring Break vacation a couple of weeks ago. It is small enough that young children would not get tired of walking around and there are plenty of places to sit (and hills to run up and down).
