Zachary & Ellie

This is Zachary with Ellie from one year ago. We got her in September 2007. Now she is much bigger!!!! I love this picture though.

Ahren with Mommom & Poppop Ritschard


This picture was taken the night of Ahren's High School graduation. June 2007. Poppop has since passed away, so I am glad he got to see Ahren graduate. Ahren said he wished Poppop was still here to see him in the Marines. Poppop was in the Navy during WWII and I know he would be very proud of Ahren.

Ahren: Marines


Ahren signed up for the Marines. This is something he has dreamed of doing since he was in 7th grade. He is scheduled to leave for boot camp on September 23rd at Paris Island. When I have a mailing address I will let you know so you can write to him! Join me in wishing him Good Luck!

Brandon: Lacrosse and Ice Hockey

2008 Lacrosse season was Brandon's first. The game is similar to hockey, so he felt comfortable playing defense. He did well for his first year. He is very strong for 11 years old. He would hold off two or three boys at a time so they wouldn't get the ball! That's why we call him "Moose"!
The 2008-09 Ice Hockey Season has begun practice. This year Brandon has joined two teams. Valley Forge Colonials and Daniel Boone Blazers. Brandon plays defense. He is awesome to watch. Every game he gets faster, stronger and confident! I don't have his game schedule yet - only practicing right now.
We are looking forward to a great season!
