Happy Memorial Day!

Today we had a fun day at the park next to our house again. Luckily, Jason did not have to work tonight so he was able to spend the day with us. Nolan was finally able to show us how he can ride his bike. We are so proud of him! Madison rode her bike and was doing well till she fell...after that she did not want to go back on her bike. After that we played fetch with our dog scruffy...he is obsessed with his toy ball. The kids played soccer for a while until Madison fell down...after that she was so upset since she fell twice today. We went back home to relax and have dinner. It was a nice relaxing holiday!

We wanted to take a moment to thank all the men and women who have served or continue to serve our country. To our cousin Valerie who is in Iraq right now and her husband Chris who was over there recently. We love you and miss you...thank you for all that you do for us!


This is a poem that a 3rd Grader wrote for Memorial Day:

Remember the brave soldiers who gave their lives For our freedom,God Bless them all these courageous Men and women.

They fought on land, Others at sea,Sacrificing their lives for You and me.

Schools and offices respect these heroes.

From the past,By flying our beautiful flag at half-mast.

As you watch the parade and hear the trumpets play,Please think about what we celebrate on Memorial Day.-© 2001 Luke, 3rd Grader, Academy Elementary School,Madison,Connecticut.
