During the holidays I like to decorate the doors in my house with the girls' artwork. I have saved artwork from preschool and grades school, church and home projects, that I tape up to our doors. I do this for Christmas, Halloween, 4th of July, Easter, and Valentine's Day. It's fun to see it all!
Fourteen years ago today, actaully tonight around 8:30pm or so, Ross and I had "the talk" and became boyfriend and girlfriend! I remember everything about that night so well and could tell you all about the few weeks leading up to that moment. It's fun to think back on everything! I'm so glad we had the talk that night! This picture is from us last weekend when we were helping my dad cut wood. I love Ross!
This is the extent of our Turkey Trot this year...picking up our packet! We didn't make it down to do the run/walk on Thanksgiving Day because it was cold and rainy that morning. We didn't think the girls would make it through so decided to stay home. My dad usually does it with us and he was sick so stayed home, too. It's too bad because we haven't been able to do it since 2019 due to covid. Hopefully next year we will have good weather and be back trotting!
This year at school the 3-5th graders were invited to joing the "Singing Eagles" choir at school. Anyone in grades 3-5 could join, there was no audition required, so Lucy decided to join. They meet once a week after school for about 40 minutes and have performances throughout the year. Lucy has really enjoyed choir and has done a great job at it, too!
A few weeks ago Lucy's whole 4th grade class had a performance in our school gym and the choir performed during this time, too. Lucy was so excited about this performance and often practied her songs at home. She did a great job doing the cup game her class did and she also got to play the xylophone and do a solo on the windchimes and the beginning and end of a song.
I'm so proud of Lucy! She's just a great girl all the way around! She's smart, she's kind, she's a good friend, she's tenacious, she's just one of my very favortie people and I love her so!
