Every year we have a Music Week at Sunshine Terrace for all the residents. We do a concert with a different style of music each day. This year we did Broadway, American Favorites, Classical, and, of course- AMERICAN IDOL!!
Megan's school has a birthday "face drawing" tradition for the 5th graders. Since Megan has a summer b-day, the teacher did it this week- here's how it turned out!
Welcome to the Birchell Blog! This is Darren, Jennifer, and Megan Birchell. We are excited to be able to keep our families and friends updated on all that we do since we live far away from many of them. I figured that I'd start out small and add as I learn cooler stuff from all the great people that I mooch ideas from. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys seeing our family and all of our crazy stuff!

knee
On Nov. 3, I had yet another joint replacement- Yea for me! This makes a total of 5! A few really sick people wanted to see some pics so here they are! I need to figure out how to get the 1st ones off my phone from the hospital- they are really graphic! If you have a weak stomach- turn away! Ha!

There is only a little bruising left- See?!

I THINK Megan's in there somewhere! She helped the neighbors pull their old roof off- what a little service giver!
Boston!
In June I took a trip to Boston to study at the Berklee School of Music. I was able to spend some time with Aunt Margaret and she took me on a fabulous tour of the city. We spent all day bumming around the great historical sites and saw some of our country's beginning. I put all the pictures into another slide show to save space.
Megan's 2008 Summertime Fun!
I made another slide show of Megan's Summertime activities- you can tell she LOVES her dogs! She also got to try tubing for the first time at Bear Lake this year!
