This page usually allows our children the opportunity to express themselves in a way which permits their dad to clearly understand the uselessness and degradation of being forced to do "creative writing" about themselves. Well, I guess I will take over this year.

Elizabeth is now 15. Of course, those four words alone would tell the world all it needs to know about her. Lizzie is a sophomore at Cherry Creek High School and despite her clever attempts to distort reality, she is excelling academically. Lizzie enjoys A Cappella choir and being on the field hockey, swimming and track teams. She was named Most Valuable Player on her field hockey team. Her driver's license is still merely a gleam in her eye, however.

Harrison finds himself at the aptly named crossroads of life - the Middle School Years. He is almost 13 years old and is doing well in the seventh grade. He loves swimming, basketball and anything to do with ancient history. Harrison "shocked the world" by volunteering to play a solo on his viola at the winter orchestra concert. Harrison is keeping his goal of becoming an Eagle Scout alive.

William is 10 years old and loves being in 5th grade. In fact, he is the third (and hopefully not last) Pusey kid to have the privilege of being in Barbara Moore's class at Willow Creek Elementary. Will is still the king of the "one-liners" and his sense of humor is a blessing to our family. Will loves soccer and has become invaluable defensive specialist. Will made great strides in swimming this last summer and surprised himself by qualifying for the league finals in freestyle. Jenifer especially appreciates her "little buddy" in the kitchen. Will is a great help in all things "cooking."

Arianne is the ripe old age of six (gasp). Seems like yesterday when she came along. Now she is swimming summers with the Willow Creek Wahoos and winters with the Aces Swim Club. She tells her parents that she is going to compete in the Olympics when she is 14. We will keep you updated if she starts breaking any of Amy Van Dyken's Wahoo club records; then we may have something. Arianne is taking piano lessons and reading up a storm and living the good life in 1st Grade.

As you can see, we only took photos of swimming this summer (and our trip to New York). Jenifer helped coach the Wahoos Swim Team again this year and made a great difference in lives of many kids in neighborhood.
