Winter Happenings 2017

Alex started guitar lessons this winter and also asked to start the alto saxophone.  We rented the sax from school and she is slowly learning the new instrument.  She is hoping to start playing with the school Jazz Band this Spring (the whole reason for picking up the saxophone).

Alex also got glasses this winter!  We knew that she would be needing them soon as she couldn't see the white board very well in school.  She is amazed at the difference!  I'd say she looks pretty cute with them!

Our annual "Awana Quizzing" was in February.  Maddie teamed up with two boys from our Awana while Will completed a team from another church.  Both teams did great!  Maddie's team took first while Will's team took second!

Another tradition is our Valentine's Dinner.  Monday, February 13th, we were able to enjoy a candelight dinner together.  It's always such a special meal for us.

We've had a crazy winter with weather.  We've had very little snow (I am not sure that the snow pants were ever worn to school this year!) and unusually warm temps.  As we head into March, we start thinking of Spring - flowers, rain, green grass and longer days.  Heaven!
