A Mysterious Delivery

Zack got a package in the mail today. He waited patiently until Jim got home to open it. By the time we were all ready, it was past his normal bedtime.





He opened the big box to find a smaller box within, wrapped with a gold ribbon. A letter informed him it was a wand from Ollivander's shop in Diagon Alley, London.




As you can see, he was blown away, and still wants to know how "they" knew his name and how to send it to him.





Of course, he had to get his Potter glasses and try out a couple of spells. No adults were turned into newts.




A special thanks to the wizard who made this happen. And if you don't know the Harry Potter books, just trust us -- this is cool.

He Shoots, He Scores!

Zack scored his first goal of the soccer season Saturday -- only the 3rd game of the year! Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of that because I was too excited watching him score. Here are some other shots of #3 of the Blue Storm in action! Check out the videos at the bottom.

Zack Climbs the Rock Wall

Zack tried climbing the rock wall again at this year's Earth Day celebration. He was still a little to spooked to go all the way up, but he made it a lot higher than last year. Next year, maybe he'll make it to the top.

Green Knights at Earth Day

The Green Knights, the school group Kelly helped create and sponsors won an award from the county at an Earth Day event on Saturday. The kids got to get up and talk about their project, which is picking up litter around the school, among other things.


When it was Zack's time to speak, he sort of forgot that you don't have to scream to be heard on a microphone. He got right up on the mic and talked really loud, which cracked everyone up, including him. It sort of turned into a "blooper" and Zack couldn't stop laughing.
