Father-Daughter Dance

The local Girl Scout service unit sponsors a Father-Daughter Dance each year, and it is always a huge success! This year, as you can see from the picture, the theme was tropical. We had a fun time getting the girls ready, and John said the dance was a blast. All the girls and dads had fun.

Virginia Tech

We are strong

And brave

And innocent

And unafraid

We are better than we think

And not yet quite what we want to be

We are alive to imagination

And open to possibility

We will continue

To invent the future

Through our blood and tears

Through all this sadness

We are the Hokies

We will prevail

We will prevail

We will prevail

We are Virginia Tech

SpongeBob Squarepants!

John's birthday was Sunday, but he's not eating cake right now, so the girls made a SpongeBob house instead of a cake. We had a healthy fruit salad as a birthday treat. So I guess cartoons are good for you, after all.
