Brief absences!

So just a heads up that the following blogs are well past their due date!  I don't take pictures near as often as I used to at events, so I don't have quite as many pictures, and then, like most people, those little digital suckers never seem to come out of the camera (or SD card).  So I decided today to catch up on several events this spring semester.  Because I am so behind, my explanations will be brief.  And, I apologize ahead of time for my children's goofy smiles and looks.  It seems as though I can't get them to take a "normal" picture any more.  Enjoy!
