Two Brothers

Took pics of these silhouettes before they found the recycling bin...oh, grade 1!

These 2 are inseparable...

and handsome!

it's HIS party and I'll cry if I want to...

Well, it's official.
We've graduated from elementary school.
Man, when your kids actually do what you want, it kinda stinks. I've got this happy/sad thing going on right now. Won't be in a funk too long, I know, but it's just a strange thing I'm feeling today. I will miss those hallways and those assemblies, but most importantly the sweet mugs of those students and staff who have become our dear friends.

Congrats Owen.

Garmin Graffiti

Bruce went for a quick run today before the white stuff started flying...again. He came home and instantly plugged in his Garmin. He likes to download and track his progress. whatever.
He was so happy to show me his results:

It took me a minute to see what he'd done. It looks like a precious preschooler's artwork.
And then I saw it.
What a guy! I think I'll keep him.

Happy Anniversary

Do you think these 2 had a clue about what life would hold?

I think it's even better than they hoped! Happy Day to us, Brewster

where are you going?

Last thing the Stew Crew does on Sunday is get our stuff ready for Monday. 

Bruce was gathering everything he needed for work tomorrow...

Look at all that!  I think he's going on a well deserved holiday... or moving out.

V Day Eve

Who knew tonight I'd get a little teary eyed making Valentine's cookies? 

Owen's last year of elementary school. Our year of lasts. 

It seems like not too long ago, we were starting our year of firsts. Where did the time go?

I asked Bruce if we could adopt.

I was just a little bit serious.

So, if anyone's ever in the need of an "Aunt Amy" (related or not) to go help at school, make treats, or cut out shapes, please let me know. I'll be out of a job in September.

How was your night?

 2013; It'll still look strange for a few days. This is some of what we did on Dec 31:

went to a great family dance complete with a yummy, gooey, diabetic's nightmare ice cream bar.

 and this was 12 o'clock, chaperoning a youth dance

Happy New Year
