Junior Initiation 2006
Aha! So Junior Initiation was today. It was cool (in matters of weather and in events). Let's review: the Seniors won at kickball 40-2 (my pitching ERA is now 6.00), and my two Juniors liked my gift to them. Chelsea really liked the Beethoven Symphony Cycle CDs, which was really nice.
