Madi has been collecting wine corks for the last 3 years and Tim and her finally created a cork board for her room and the kitchen. I just wanted to show off their work, since its been a project in the making for years.
Kitchen:
Madison's Room:
The last Timbers game was pretty fun. We were ahead until we got a red card part way through the game. Here is Madi with her friend at the game. They had a great time getting signatures and buying soda!
Other news. Madison had her second game this weekend. I think the girls worked really hard, but lost. Oh well. Maybe next week.
Will need to get a better photo next week! As many of you know, both Madi and Cara are selling lots of things to raise money. Most things I just donate cash to the cause so please don't feel hurt if she hasn't contacted you.
I just was asked by an old school friend if I had these class photos of Marbury School in Aldgate, South Australia. I would love to connect with any of my old friends from that year abroad.
The first one is Year 12:

This one is year 11:
Tim got us tickets tonight to the Vampire weekend concert. He first heard them on Morning Becomes Eclectic. They are pretty good. Give it a listen. Press the play button.
Cara started school today. A little nervous since it is a fairly new school. Nana and Sissy (My mom and Madi) dropped her off and walked her in. She came home fairly excited. So I think it all went OK.
LaborDay was spent in the garden digging up the potatoes we planted before the summer. I believe we ended up with 22 pounds of Potatoes. (Our biggest crop so far). I think that we are finally getting a lot of the clay we had four years ago when we moved in!
