Tanner's Freshman Year is Wrapping Up

Tanner has had a great first year at Westside Christian High School. He just brought home two awards. One is the President's Award for Educational Excellence. "President" here being W, not the school president. Congratulations Tanner!

The other is a plaque from Westside Christian Theater. Tanner recieved the "Promising Newcomer Award". Very cool! He also recently received the role of Teddy Brewster in the Fall play Arsenic and Old Lace.



The Spring choir concert was Wednesday night. Tanner is part of the main chorus as well as the men's chorus. Here are a couple pictures.




Tanner got his braces off at the end of April! Here's the before-and-after.



Moving back in time a bit, here are a couple of Tanner's first attempt driving a stick-shift.



And, back just a bit further. Tanner took Katie Aman to Banquet. Her mom is a professional photographer, so we ended up with some beautiful pictures. There are a bunch here, but they're all so good, I couldn't cut any.

One More Picture

I forgot one. This is Karen and Tanner at the original Starbucks in Seattle's Pike Street.

Picture Update

Tanner played Aladdin in his school's One Acts. Our friend Amy made his amazing costume.


Tanner with Jasmine (Angela), in his costume, and with his best friend Zach.


Tanner driving home after the play and in a new outfit that Tanner picked out himself.

New Photos

It's Christmas eve, and I have a few spare minutes (all the packages are bought and wrapped). So I made a quick update with 16 pictures here: http://picasaweb.google.com/garrisonrw/200712PreChristmas

Merry Christmas!

Multnomah Falls (May, 2007)

We took a day trip out to Multnomah Falls. It was beautiful. We hiked to the top of the falls with Tanner setting a very quick pace to the top.
