Anna performing in the Veteran's Day Parade in New York City


 





Chinatown the day before the parade

Matthew went to the same parade 8 years ago.  I need to try to find the photos from his parade!!

Here is a video of the trip (put here so Anna can always find it!)

University of Iowa Fencing Club

Carolyn joined the fencing club in her final semester at The University of Iowa.

Here is Carolyn at warm-ups...the look on her face tells you everything about her feelings about Fencing.  Everyone is so nice.




 





The touch swords, then elbows at the end of each competition.

Homecoming

 Once again the Band kids in Anna's class got together to go to Homecoming (and some band-adjacent kiddos).  Here is the photo-shoot.

JR Flutes
Fun photo
I am hoping to get a better copy of this one.
I love this one, even with the wind in her hair! (I like that part!)
Just the gals

On the Prowl! (homecoming tournament of kids)

 This is Homecoming week (Anna just left for the dance).  Earlier in the week they had games that groups of 14 kids participated in.  Each group has a teacher sponsor.  Anna's sponsor was Mrs. Hook (AKA leader of color guard and flutes)  So her group was Hook's Pirates.

My mom's family photo


 My cousin colorized this photo.  I just love it.  My mom is in the middle between her parents.  I can see where I got my face shape, oddly no one else in her family has the same shape as my mom and I do.  


Doesn't Anna look a lot like my mom?

Carolyn's last "off to school" day

 

Ken took Carolyn to move into the dorms for her last semester.  She is pretty excited because she heard on Monday that she got the job as the marketing and social media coordinator for the department of Biomedical Engineering!  Her boss said, "Since this is your last semester, if there is anything special you want to get the experience of doing, just let me know."  Although it doesn't pay as well as her summer internship, it is probably a better experience to get the opportunity to do different aspects of marketing.
