June


The first week in June was Spirit Week at school.  I happened to only get a picture of Hat Day and yes, this was the best they would smile for me.

My 2nd Annual Piano Recital here at our home with my 9 students and their families.  They all did great!

My parents came by for a visit for a couple nights and here's my mom playing a piano duet with Zach.

Zach turns 9!
Zach chose to go to a nickel arcade for his birthday and invited his good friend, Dinesh, to come along.

Followed by a stop at Dairy Queen!

Zach with his presents

When I asked Zach what he wanted for his birthday dessert he said, "A pie crust, with a layer of vanilla ice cream, then chocolate pudding and bananas on top!"  So that's what he got.

Happy Birthday, Zachy!

9 months pregnant

Welcoming Gabriel Spencer:
Born on June 20th at 4:14pm weighing 8 pounds 14 ounces

45 minutes old

3 hours later, the kids came to visit and as usual, we didn't find out the gender before the baby's birth, so we asked the kids if the baby looked like a boy or girl.  I think they were mostly just happy to have  a baby in the family.
