Alex’s Soccer Team on their way to Winston-Salem


Alex’s soccer team won their first round game in the Regional event, so they now move on to the next round which will be in Winston-Salem, NC on Tuesday. This is a single elimination tournamaent, so if they win they will have more games – we are just not sure where. The last game Alex got a little bit of playing time in and got in on a few plays, the game before though went into overtime and he didn’t see any action. Alex has been hinting around at trying out for the basketball team??

School Projects


Alex has had a couple of big projects due in school recently,,,,,
The first one was a science project, he had to collect 20 insects and name them with their latin names and classes. He posted them on a poster board we painted green and then had them pinned to a smaller piece of foam core to make them stick out a little. He only received an 88% on this mostly because he didn’t have very good handwriting. The other project was to tell the story of the seven days of creation (this was for History class) – at least he received a 100% on this one…. of course he had a little bit of help since he waited until the last day to complete it.

NC Seafood Festival




So we went to the NC Seafood Festival this weekend and it was really crowded – too many people and the lines for food were pretty long. They also had lots of crafts booths, including some people selling photos – although other than a couple, I think Lis and mine are better. We only stayed a couple of hours, but we did get a chance to meet up with Drew, Reid and Kelly at the festival.
