Time for a Criger catch up. It has been a cold winter for us in North Carolina and we are ready for a bit of spring. To keep us from going completely crazy we have done a few things. First - Logan is learning to sew. Her first project was a pillow case. Simple straight seams - some pinning and ironing to start with. She did a great job. She made 2 pillowcases - one to keep and one to give to the million pillowcase project. Her next project will be an apron to use while cooking! It is so much fun to have a 10 year old girl!!
Look at me with the FOOD NANNY!! Liz Edmonds - the "Food Nanny" did a presentation in Chapel Hill a few weeks ago. She discussed how important having a family dinner each night is and ways to make planning and preparing them easier. Hey - anything to make dinner time a bit easier is what I need. She shared some good recipes - I even made her delicious pizza crust the other day and it was super easy. I purchased the "Food Nanny" cook book which has some fun recipes. I am sure this will make dinner time so easy - -- just check back in a few months and we will see how it is actually going!!
Can you spot Logan in this picture? You can just see her face in the Creekside chorus group - left side 3rd row back. Back in February Logan's chorus group sang the national anthem at a Duke women's basketball game. This will probably be the only time I will ever attend a basketball game at the Duke Cameron indoor stadium. We were there for about an hour getting ready for the group to sing. The chorus performance lasted about 2 minutes - then we left! Logan had a great time and she really loves singing in the school chorus group! I can't waitfor her next performance at the spring concert in April!
As a middle school student, Carson had to complete a science fair project. He and his friend Kit did an experiment involving how fast different over the counter pain products dissolve
and give pain relief. They spent about a 2 hours one Saturday afternoon in February watching tablets and gel caps dissolve and taking pictures along the way. Then they wrote up the results and posted the results. The boys won 3rd place in the physical science category for the school. This is the second year in a row Carson has placed in the science fair- he will have to come up with a great project next year to make it 3 years in a row!!

Hi Crigers,
It was sooo good to sign onto your blog and find new "News". :o)
Congratulations Logan for learning to sew. It will really come in handy someday when you're all grown up and have children to sew for. And, Congratulations to you too Carson for placing in your Science Fair, by disolving all those pills and discovering how fast they work.
Kaylene and Doug, I am so glad that we can keep in touch thru your blog. I called your Dad on his birthday, he was in his room alone, and Darla had preped him to answer the phone when I called. Well, I was yelling at the top of my lungs, so he would hear me, but nary a word came out of his mouth and he hung up on me. I tried that 3 times, and gave up. I called Darla then, so she could tell him the next time she was there, that I had called. This is awful to say about my brother, and your dad, but he would be so much better on the other side of the veil, progressing and keeping busy, and preaching the gospel. His body has him completely limited to not being able to do anything.
Take care, I Love you all !!!
Aunt Verlene
