9/11


We took the kids to the Nixon Library for the 10th anniversary of 9/11. I was moved by the displays. The had a poster with a picture of each of the firefighters and police officers slain that day. The had steel from the towers and a fire truck that had to be decommissioned in the months after the attacks because the heat of the fires were so intense that it fatigued the metal of the truck. The truck was used to put out the fires of the towers. This is a day I will never forget and we as a country should never forget this day.

My kids too were very touched by the display.Johnathan went around to each poster and carefully read each one and asked a lot of questions. They were able to touch the steal of the towers. God Bless America and the fallen of 9/11.

Hockey

Johnathan played goalie for the spring season 2011. He learned that it is harder work than he thought it would. He ended up with a .62 average. It is only slightly below other goalies in the league. It was good experience for him. Plus the added benefit of him being tired was nice.

Dance

Jenna loves to dance. She had a lot of fun this year at Spring Festival. She has an artistic side to her. Watching Jenna is like seeing me in the mirror. She has a lot of the same interests I had as a child. She will be enrolling in a beginning dance class during August.

Santa Claus

Mommy called the North Pole and had Santa Claus visit us this year. We asked the Francis and Freeman family if we could meet Santa together. Our house was not ours yet and we needed a big place for the special visitor. Santa was jolly as ever. It is a time that Jenna will never forget. Santa came specifically to see her.

We visited San Juan Capistrano in April 2010 so Johnathan could write his mission report. Both kids really enjoyed there visit. Johnathan was up next to the guide the whole time asking very informative questions.

It had multiple layers of clay that took several days to dry. The boys had to put one layer on a day and let it dry. It was nice to see daddy and Johnathan working together.
