To start with Ali is home with her family and doing well. Still preg., still stable, still praying for a full term, healthy baby.
The oldest is dancing again. She's started back this past fall, just a jazz class with her sister. Now she's in jazz 4 with girls her age and loving it. It's non-competitive with is exactly what she wanted. The last studio we were at she was in 3 classes and 2 competition classes plus the competition schedule and she got to the point of hating dance, so we quit. Having her back in just 1 class and loving it is so great to see. She's doing well in school and enjoying scouts. She has a training session tonight to learn how to help run the new telescope we have at camp. I'm just glad to see her still being a child and not growing up too fast!
The younger daughter has decided that dance isn't for her. She's now taking ice skating lessons. Her first class was last week and she was having a great time... that is until she sort of ran into the wall/fell into the wall and did the splits. After that she was done for the day. I was just getting ready to take a picture too. I asked her if she wanted to go back this week and she said YES!! she loved it, even if it does hurt to fall. I may have to go and get her some skates of her own soon. We'll see what happens. She's doing great in school. Her scout troop is planning a New York trip this summer. It's a big trip without parents, just the leaders. I'm not sure I'm ready for this.
On to little man. What can I say about him... His doing well in school grade-wise, now to get him to stay out of trouble. He's getting bored in class and acts out for something to do. We're working on it, it's just taking time. He's in scouts too, tiger cub. Doing well there, he wants to earn all the belt loops and such I keep telling him one at a time, slow down... I think he really only has 2 speeds really fast and sleep!
This is a pic of him playing Joseph in the Christmas play. He just had to wear all his tools and bring his woodwork so he would "look like a real carpenter".
Speaking of Christmas the kids have been having lots of fun with their gifts. The oldest and youngest both got bikes that they decided to try out by riding in the house (don't ask, I'm not sure what happened to my brain at that point) and the little lady got her DS she'd been asking for. The in laws (God love them!) got the kids a Wii (with 3 controllers!) and thankfully the kids have all been playing nice with it. Can't get on it much when their home, lost the use of the tv when they want to play, but at least they aren't fighting.
