Funky Y2C - Southlake Town Square

Madelyn's first duet was a cute little Hip Hop ditty with Paige to Funky Y2C.  They were chosen to show off their stuff at Southlake Town Square.

They are having so much fun!

So proud of our brave little girl for getting on stage in front of all those people!

Blastball!!

Marek started Blastball this fall playing for the . . . . Grasshoppers?  We don't ask questions, people, we just suit up!  Here are a few action shots . . .

Marek earned his second yellow stripe in karate!  Such a stud.  :)

Claudia gets a taste of the Orient in the South. . .

Claudia was very excited to try out the Hibachi Style Grill at Kobeya!  So fun and the kids loved it, too!

Micah was not impressed. . .

Marek's First Soccer Team!

Team Pride was their name (Rawwrrrrrrr) and there was another Merrick on his team!  What are the odds?!  His very first team sport.

My sweet boy - he has so so so much fun out there - Coach Cory playing airplane with him . . .

Micah really enjoyed watching her big brother!

She thinks he's hilarious.  I agree. . .
