Found Facebook = Became Negligent
It's been a long time since I've updated The Metzler Family Blog! Like my title says, I found facebook and love being able to keep up with friends and family there. For those of you not on facebook, let me try to update you on what's been happening the past year! : ) --Dianna
ELIZABETH
Last spring (2009) Elizabeth played softball. She made it very clear to anyone that would listen that she did NOT like it. Maybe we can try again in a year or two...
In April Scott and Elizabeth went to the Haddonfield Daisy Ball, a father-daughter dance for Kindergarten and 1st grade Girl Scouts in our town. It was an evening of music, dancing, food and crafts.
Elizabeth enjoys being in Girl Scouts. Here is a picture of her at The Little Pet Shoppe, a field trip Dianna organized, where the girls learned about different pets and their care. They got to hold puppies, bunnies, a chincilla, and guinea pigs!
Elizabeth is now in 2nd grade. She loves her sassy, fun teacher, Mrs. Lampman.
In September we had Elizabeth's 7th birthday party at Cherry Hill Skating Center. She had a great time with all of her friends.
For Halloween, Elizabeth was a "Snow Princess".
In December 2009 Elizabeth auditioned and made it into ChildrenSong of New Jersey! She now joins Abbie every Monday night at the rehearsals and loves it! She also continues to take piano lessons.
ABIGAIL
In January 2009 Abbie auditioned and made it into ChildrenSong of New Jersey. We are so proud of her beautiful voice! Rehearsals are every Monday night and there are several concerts each year. She constantly is singing. We have to ask her to stop at times because it's just too much! LOL She has continued with her piano lessons and obviously loves music.
For Abbie's 9th birthday, we had a slumber party. She enjoyed having all of her friends spend the night. They had pizza and chips, and Dianna organized games. In the morning Dianna made pancakes. They all had a fun night!
In the spring Abbie played softball. Scott was the team's coach.
In June Abbie was thrilled that her friend, Lana, came for a visit. Lana had moved to California last year, and Abbie really missed her! So, we had a pool party for Lana and all of her old friends. Abbie enjoyed spending the day with Lana, but was very sad when Lana had to go back to California. :(
Abbie is now in 4th grade.
For Halloween Abbie dressed up as Cleopatra.
SCOTT
Last spring Scott did some electrical work on our house. We had some existing knob and tube wiring. He spent a lot of time in the attic ripping out knob and tube and rewiring the three bedrooms in the original house structure.
Scott continues to enjoy bike riding. He bought a new bike this year, a white Cannondale Synapse, that he LOVES. Dianna thinks he spent more time this summer washing his bike than he's ever spent washing the car! LOL
DIANNA
Last spring Dianna was the co-chair for Haddonfield's Girl Scout Daisy Ball. She spent many hours creating handmade invitations for more than 100 Kindergarten and 1st grade Girl Scouts.
Also, last spring Dianna painted a mural of Peter Pan on Abbie's bedroom wall. Yes, the girls still love the crazy stories Scott makes up each night about Captain Hook and Peter Pan! We really thought they would have grown out of them by now.......but they haven't! LOL So, Abbie was thrilled when Dianna painted her room purple and added this mural:
Dianna also continues to enjoy gardening. Scott says that her favorite place to be is "knee deep in dirt". LOL Again this year she ordered Praying Mantis egg sacks and enjoyed watching them hatch. The girls (all three) released them in our yard. Dianna thinks it's amazing to watch these little critters emerge from the egg sack and then find them a month or two later in the garden, always 3 or 4 times the size they were!!! Last spring Dianna bought extra egg sacks and gave them to neighbors, friends, and teachers at Tatem.
Dianna is currently teaching piano lessons in our home after school. She still goes to a monthly Book Club and also plays Bunko once a month with friends.
