Last Five or So Months



Farruzah turned 11 this year. These are the friends who attended her 5th annual party for a cause. This year she selected to give food to St. Vincent de Paul. Every year she selects a non profit and donates her gifts to them. This has been a tradition that she loves and plans on continuing. Even her friends enjoy it. There is no pressure for presents and more people are able to attend.








This was one of the last storms of the year. The snow flakes were the size of baseballs (they were all clumped together) I wish the picture was better.










Once again both Ben and Farruzah were in soccer, this spring. Some how Ben's pictures didn't turn out but Farruzah's team looks great!






Thursday May 21st was a big day for Farruzah, she graduated from elementary school. Here are pictures from the event. Farruzah playing her violin and posing with her friends.





I don't want to leave out her flute and her receiving the Presidential award for merit from her principal.



Finally, we made our trip to Minneapolis to see Jesse's siblings. The kids had a great time with their cousins Friday and Saturday. Here are some of the highlights from the weekend.
