Father Daughter Mother Dance
Lucia, Rose and I missed the Father Daughter Dance at our church this year, so we hosted our own, at our house, and moms are invited (and brothers).
Tumbling Troupe
Lucia and Rose are members of the Tumbling Troupe at their dance and tumbling studio. They had a few practices and have been performing at a few high school basketball halftime breaks. Afterward the kids and families take over a local restaurant for dinner or a treat.
Lucia Chorus Concert
This evening was Family Engagement Night at the girls’ school. Lucia is in the 5th and 6th grade chorus and they sang a few songs at the end of the night.
Lucia Cello Concert
Lucia is in her second year playing the cello.
Roller Skating
The girls went roller Skating with some friends. It was their second time this year and they are getting better at it.
Our Kids
Snowboarding at Mt. Clive
One of Andrew’s goals while he was home for winter break was to snowboard on Mt. Clive. Mt. Clive is a big pile of dirt the city uses for projects and is located at the back of a prairie near our house. The city recently took a huge chunk off the front, creating a drop that Andrew couldn’t resist. Andrew was out there for a while in temperatures that were so cold it was hurting our hands when we took the video. He was determined, but Mt. Clive came out on top today. Andrew thinks he could have done it if he had his regular snowboard that he uses in Colorado. His final attempt is below.
More snow!
It snowed another 8 inches or so and we now have a lot of snow on the ground! The temperature also dropped to super cold, but that didn’t stop the girls from building a cool tunnel/fort in the snow bank on the side of our driveway.
JA Biztown
Today I had the chance go to JA Biztown with Lucias 5th grade class. The kids all assume adult roles in a community, running verious business and being consumers. The kids love it.
