Well, Jesse has spent the last week making his musical instrument with Grandpa and finished last night! Here he is playing his finished product!

Jesse used the jigsaw with Grandpa's help to cut out the grooves for the top of the drum.

Almost done.....way to go Jesse! I see an A in your future (we hope.....!)

Fall Fun!!!

Well, the kid's Aunt Cathie had them over Saturday for a day full of Halloween fun, crafts, goodies, and lots of sugar!! We all had such a great time and always love seeing our Aunt Cathie! Thank you for the fabulous day!

Jesse is working on building an African Tongue Drum for his music class project. He is to make a musical instrument and thanks to Grandpa, we have lots of wood and tools at our disposal! Jesse really shows an interest in woodworking, and grandpa loves showing Jesse new skills. Here is Jesse sanding the top of the drum.

Jesse using the table saw (Grandpa helped also......such a big blade!)

Will post the final product very soon!

On our way to Tiger Madness.....

Well, it's almost time for UofM Basketball to begin...so Lance & I took the kids to Tiger Madness Friday evening. They had a great time, starting with dinner downtown and the festivities at the forum afterwards. Such a great time they had!

Claire pretended she was a cheerleader and would try to minmick the moves the "real cheerleaders" made. Let's just say she needs a lot of practice!!! Well, I promise to post lots soon! Enjoy the photos!

Jesse's New Look

Well, guess who has inherited his mother's eyes?? Poor Jesse. Well, here is is after receiving his 1st pair of glasses. He was apprehensive at first, but I think he'll be much better tomorrow when he can show them off to his friends! Just as handsome, I must say!

Well, all is well here in the Hollingsworth Family! Promise to post again very soon...as we always have events going on to blog about! Hope all is well!

Love,Gretchen
