Track and Field

High school track (JV) is over for Rosanna now, and Caroline has a few meets left. Rosanna won a 400 meter JV race recently, and Caroline has been enjoying 7th grade track--she has been practicing with the discus lately and did very well at her last meet. I attended the first home meet and got a few photos of Caroline and her teammates getting ready for their relay race and one of Caroline flying home!

Troy, Lisa, and Braden said...: Hi Shirley,

Yes, you are more than welcome to stop by for a visit in person sometime! We've been wanting to have people from the Everett area up here, but haven't gotten it done yet. Hopefully that will happen soon! Nice to hear from you.

The J's said...: Relyssa's last track meet (JV) is today, so we plan to go over right after school to it. She's talking about doing cross-country this next year in addition to track.
Meshayla discovered her niche is long-jump, & she's looking forward to "real" track next year.; May 6, 2008 at 7:16 AM

Welcome to Our Place - Updated for Spring 2012

We live between Marysville and Granite Falls. Larry still works at Crane-Eldec in Lynnwood, but due to a change in his work schedule in February 2011, he is no longer in a van pool. Instead he bought himself a Ford Focus to use as his work car. Shirley is Mom, "chauffeur," and chief bunny caretaker. We have two daughters: Rosanna, age 20, and Caroline, age 17.We used to have two pet bunny brothers, Lucky and Thumper, who turned 9 years old on October 5. But Lucky got really sick, and had him put to sleep a few days before Christmas last year. So sad.... Thumper doesn't even miss him; he is happy as long as he is fed!

Larry and Shirley are really into running this year, qualifying for Half Fanatics in January. The Seattle Rock-n-Roll half marathon will be our fourth in 2012, and we would like to do four more, if possible, and move up in Half Fanatics!
Caroline is a junior in high school, and Rosanna continues to work at the Ralph Lauren Polo store at Seattle Premium Outlets in Tulalip.

We all continue to enjoy taking photos, and Rosanna also took a photography class at Everett Community College last spring. (We bought her a Nikon DSLR for the class). She has made some money doing photography for a local business in nearby Granite Falls last fall. And I am still using my super tiny Olympus camera for photos "on the run!"
