Robert & Brooks' Handshake


So these 2 have the best handshake that is just for them.  They both laugh and smile the whole time and this is a very special memory and moment that they will cherish for a long time.  The Best!  This video is taken at bedtime 4/2018 / 7th Grade



GAC Diving Boards


We had at the opportunity to go off the boards at the GAC.  Brooks did this once when he was around 5 and has wanted to since then.  There are low and high spring boards and then 5m, 7.5m and 10m platform boards.  Wow!

Brooks Gets Braces

Brooks has been looking forward to getting braces for a few years.  Dr. Trentini did a great job and we are headed toward perfectly aligned teeth.  Were fortunate to be able to do over Easter Break so he could have a few days to figure it out.  Not very crooked to begin with as you can see but just need to bring whole bottom row forward and tweak.  He has adjusted super well.  Ladies at the office love the hair!

Easter 2018 - Pennsylvania


We spent Easter Break in Pennsylvania visiting various towns.  We began in Lancaster where we saw “Jesus” at Sight and Sound Theatre, horse buggy tour through Amish Country with Aaron & Jessica's Buggy Tours and visited the first hard pretzel bakery in Lillitz.  

In Hershey we visited Hershey Park, stayed at Hershey Lodge, made our own chocolate creations and learned a lot about the Hershey Co. and Milton Hershey.  

Our last stop was Gettysburg Battlefield.  We had a private guide on a 4 hour tour where we learned everything our brains could handle in 4 hours.  Brooks said,”I was having to forget things as he was saying them so that I would have room in my brain for the next thing.”  The museum and historic buildings are really special.  We visited the Shriver Home (kids had read book) which has been restored and modeled as it would have been when Confederate soldiers took it over and fought from the attic.  The David Wills House is where Lincoln stayed the night before his Address and the bedroom furniture is on display there.  It was a really fun and educational time.
