All City Track Meet

 The 5th graders from all the Rochester schools had the citywide track meet today.  Nick went to watch Claire compete in her event, the softball throw.

Mother's Day Weekend

The simple things made it great.  The weather was perfect, too.

Sleeping Lady

 Claire crosses her legs when she sleeps.  Had to snap a picture for the memory vault...

Baseball

A win in Northfield!

Another win against the other Rochester team!  When you beat Teal, you get DQ. Charlie pitched 4 innings allowing only 2 runs and got 3 doubles at the plate.  He earned player of the game but wanted to share it with the other pitcher.

Soderville Tournament Champs!

 First tournament and first championship!  The boys also punched their tickets to both state tournaments in July! Charlie was absolutely exhausted after 6 games and over 12 hours of baseball over the weekend but said it was worth it for being #1!

7th Grade Band Concert

 FRONT ROW, baby! We showed up only five minutes before they started and it was like the universe meant for us to be right there.  They sounded great and did some fun and creative things this time.  One more year of the trumpet and Charlie says he's retiring.

Spartan Baseball

 Some of the Tornado boys went to see the Mayo Varsity baseball team.  They won!  I got to see a former kindergarten student play, which was fun and humbling (like, how I can I be old enough for this?!)

Sertoma Breakfast

 The Sertoma Club raises and donates money to the DHH program at Rochester Public Schools so every year Bamber Valley hosts a breakfast to thank them.  Charlie and some classmates created a rap to share and answered some questions in front of the group, which included the superintendent, some school board members and the principals.  I was proud!  He said he went for the free breakfast (you know, since it isn't always free for him).
