Grab bag 'o pix

Wow I've been neglecting this thing.... haven't really been in the mood lately to celebrate anything so I guess I haven't done any posting. Well here are a bunch of pix from the past five months or so. First is the Christmas French horn concert in Appleton. Then we have Matthew at swimming lessons. Then Matthew at the Milwaukee Museum of Art explaining some Egyptian art to his class. After that is some exciting bowling pictures, followed by Robert at a chess meet, Matthew at the Buck's game, and Robert at chess SuperNationals in Nashville!
