Now Showing at Kingsport Theatre Guild

Rebecca, Caleb and Noah are currently performing in "Once Upon a Mattress" at Kingsport Theatre Guild - the musical based on the story of the "Princess and the Pea." I thoroughly enjoyed getting to see them sing and dance on stage for the first time.

Interestingly, we did our own version of "Princess in the Pea" several years back that proved that Terry is of royal blood. Terry is a little picky about how the bed is made, how his pillow is adjusted, etc. So almost ten years ago now, Rebecca and I put a few very small dried beans under the sheet on his side of the bed to see if he would notice. He passed the test. So I guess he really is my Prince Charming!

Running Around

Like most families, we do a lot of running around - especially when school starts back in the fall. Recently, that running has been literal.

Caleb has joined the recently-formed homeschool cross-country team. They don't have cool matching outfits, but they managed to do well at the recent Bristol Cross at Steele Creek Park. Caleb is easy to spot in his orange shorts!

Noah also decided to try some running. He recently ran in the Eastman Road Race. he didn't prepare at all for the one-mile race, so he found it fairly brutal.

Noah has declared that his running career is over. Caleb is going to be in another cross-country meet this next Saturday.
