Hutch's Big Debut

Here is one of the songs from last night's performance by the kids at Hutch's daycare. Pardon the shakey cam effects...Lee was laughing as he recorded - you'll see why. Enjoy!

More information...

Here's a link to the story as cleverly told by Clare and Joel themselves!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Seeing as how the other family members have become slack in their blogging, I get to be the first to blog about the impending nuptials!! Joel proposed to Clare last night! They were at an Eric Hutchinson concert, just as they were two years ago on their first date. Apparently Joel got in contact with Eric who took a moment on stage to acknowledge Clare and the coincidence of their last names. He then went on to say that Clare needed to turn around. Joel was on one knee and saying all those delicious things we girls like to hear! The spotlights were even focused on the happy couple. Clare called around 3am our time(as instructed) so I hope I have the story straight!

Kudos to mom, dad, Lee, and I for keeping tight lips for the last week or so. Joel spoke to dad over Thanksgiving and he kept it secret for about 12 hours, maybe longer before he told mom. She kept it to herself for about 23 1/2 hours before telling me and I told Lee as soon as I saw him that day.

Way to go Joel - sounds like the perfect proposal. We're all thrilled!!

Now let's start talking about the dance we'll perform at the reception...there are many options - Thriller, Time of My Life, Big Butts, etc.

Okay, so here's another one so everyone can see that we weren't torturing the poor girl.

Maggie's First Haircut

 

I don't want to give the wrong impression, Maggie was actually quite good for her first trip to the beauty shop. This photo was the winner of the collection however! She really only had a fraction of an inch taken off, but it made a difference. We're taking her back for some highlights next week.
