First Reconciliation

Jack recieved the Sacrament of Reconciliation last night at St. Marks Church in Plano. Here he is with his certificate.

The Purple Ponies

This is Keiko's indoor soccer team, the Purple Ponies. As you can see, Keiko is the smallest player, but she is a little fireplug out on the field. We took some pictures of her out on the field, but they were blurry because the lighting isn't great for taking pictures.

Swedes Come to Visit

Alexander had to do a report on what he did while he was in the states. Christin took these pictures for it. The little blonde girl is Alexander's sister, Caroline.

Campus Science Fair

Keiko won 1st prize for her grade level. Jack won 1st prize for his grade level and Grand Prize for the school! Here they are at the Science Fair showing off their ribbons.

The Big Day!!!

We got up when it was still dark and went to church. When we got home there was a big surprise under the tree. Santa had come to visit and since we were all very good boys and girls this year...











Even Dudley got into the act.












Keiko checking out her stocking.

Christmas Tree Cookies

Jack's first tree cookie!


Keiko eating more than decorating.


Midori ate a spicy candy!












Concentrating VERY hard!

Gym and Swim

Dan took the day off to go Christmas shopping. He was able to watch Midori's swimming class and took these really cute pictures.

She is jumping through the hoop. Hmmm. I think she was supposed to swim through.


Check out her big goofy smile.
