Since then, my band played at a local infamous party, Craig and Roberta's 4th of July bash. We had a blast. Check out my band's page, or my facebook page for pictures and video.

The recent storm...
Hi all. I haven't had time yet to post the Alaska pictures. However, here are some photos of the huge limb that came down out of our tree in the backyard after a storm in June.
Since then, my band played at a local infamous party, Craig and Roberta's 4th of July bash. We had a blast. Check out my band's page, or my facebook page for pictures and video.

A Busy Month....
A quick summary: Carl went to scout camp, and was inducted into the order of the arrow. He and I went up to Mt. Vernon and continued to play some D&D. I have taken and completed a very intense but good summer class. Lara, the kids, and Dee have taken a long-planned vacation to Alaska to visit Tanya, Rick and Suresh, and they are having the time of their lives.
When I get more than a free moment, I will post pictures.

Memorial Day Weekend
Hello all,
We had a great weekend so far, with our friends Mike, Susan, Joe, and Molly coming down to play a fun game of Dungeons and Dragons with the Pugh kids. We grilled out and stayed up way too late. I'll post some pictures of Carl's graduation and the kids in the next day or two.

Sorry about no updates lately....
Here is the quick update on family news....sorry I have been so long between posts. I have been working feverishly each weekend on papers for my Ph.D. classes, and it simply takes me a long time to churn these things out, so literally, everything else has to wait until I'm done. Well, I'm done!
Here are some pictures:
Maggie, doing great in soccer this year!
On the prowl!
Carl's Band Performance, and accepting his award for First Superior, and sticking the award to his shoe.
Carl, receiving several school awards, including Beta Club, Scholar Bowl, Honor Roll, Match Club, and Music. He was recognized for winning the Region wide Math tournament, and setting a new record for the number of problems correct. Nerd power rocks.
His awards, including Scholar Bowl, Math tournament, First Superior on saxophone, and the several school awards.

Easter
Over the Easter Holiday, our good friends the Aimones came down to visit. We took a nature hike, grilled out, and the kids had a great Easter Egg hunt in our backyard. Then we drove up north to Mt. Vernon and visited with Mike, Molly, Susan and Joe. We had a great evening chilling out at the Fairfield Inn.

Elvis Update....
Here are a couple of pictures of Elvis. I've taken to calling him Emilio Lizardo, from the movie, Buckaroo Bonzai.
Merry Christmas, Three Months Late....
Merry Christmas, Pugh Family!
Merry Christmas, Grandpa Jim and Grandma Nan!

Pageants, Plays, and Productions...
Here are the various children in the church Christmas play and Carl in the School Band Christmas Concert:
FINALLY!
Finally, on Friday, the police were able to return our camera, and about 10 movies that had been stolen out of our van after Christmas.
There were a couple hundred pictures that were on the camera. I will put up the slideshows here, one post at a time, starting with December 14th or so. What's so special about that day, you might ask? Oh yeah, my birthday! And the kids' birthdays, too!

The Highs and the Lows
Still don't have our camera back from the police.....
But, even without pictures, I will brag on Carl a little bit. He took a first at State on saxophone on a very difficult piece. It was cool to watch.
However, this week, after winning another scholar bowl tournament, Carl snuck off to an ex-teacher's room, took some of her candy, and left her an anonymous, but not very nice, note.
He was caught.
He served an in-school suspension for that little stunt, but I do believe he learned his lesson, since he has had to spend his own money to replace the candy, apologize to the teacher in person and in writing, apologize to the principal, AND has been grounded for a month from video games and TV.
On another front, Maggie was asked to spend the night at a friend's house and Katie wasn't. That is happening tonight. No big deal right, except that up until now, if Maggie were asked to do something, so was Katie, not because we push them as a package deal, but they had a similar group of friends, and it has always worked out that way. Now, we're starting to see some differentiation, and it ain't gonna be pretty. Katie feels passed over, Maggie is overjoyed. Katie is crying, and it is cold comfort to know that there will come a time that she is asked to do something and Maggie is not.
