SPRING 2009

CASMIR PULASKI DAY - ATLANTA, GA.
living in the chicagoland area, means having a 4-day wk end in honor of casmir pulaski (a polish war hero who assisted the U.S.). as you can guess, chicago has a large polish population. thats fine with me, cuz it means i get to fly to atlanta to see baby noah and spend some gma-time holding him!

our school choir travels to century jhs on march 13th to compete: Music of the Sea, God Bless America, and an old favorite from the choir library -- Walk Dem Bones.

PINNING CEREMONY
we get to attend this event and watch as sgr enters the field of professional nursing. somebody better take pictures!

ps: happy b-day, karl (beloved nephew).
