My Family

This is a picture of my family. My daughter, Katie, was married the summer of 2012. She is a first-grade teacher in the Spokane School District. Her husband is a math teacher and high-school football coach. Leah heads back to Central Washington University in a couple of weeks to begin her senior year. She is majoring in nutrition. My husband, Brent, works for a company called Viking Pump. He travels a good deal of the time because he is responsible for maintaining accounts in the mid-west and western states.

Lulu

This summer we had a four-legged guest staying with us. Leah has a cat named Lulu who stayed with us over the summer. She is a silly cat, and I will miss her as she heads back to college with Leah. I really enjoy cats. I grew up on a farm in Iowa where we had a horse, cows, pigs, chickens, a dog, and many cats and kittens.

Jack-in-the-Beanstalk Sunflowers

Every summer my husband attempts to grow taller sunflowers than the previous year. They stand majestically in the garden, and they are even with my second-floor windows. I love sunflowers and you will soon have the chance to create an artistic masterpiece as we start our science unit about seeds.
