February 2008

This has been a rough winter!  Lots of snow and sub-zero temperatures.  We lost most of January as influenza crept its way through our family.  Chris was traveling, a week in Houston and then a week in Japan - so he was spared the whole mess!

I am looking forward to spring!  Our escape to Arizona and California will help the winter seem shorter - we hope! I delight in looking at last summer's camping pictures and penciling in the dates for more camping trips in 2008.

See below for news on the kids...there is plenty!

Annabelle

  • Lots of acting in March with 3 dramas at church.  March 8/9 will be in all the church services - so you can see her on the net as Wooddale Church streams live during services.
  • Annabelle is taking Theatrical Dance.  She seems to be enjoying it.  They are working on choreography for Hairspray, Mary Poppins and High School Musical (sorry - but yuck!)
  • Still in church choir.  The choir is preparing for an upcoming overnight tour.  They will visit a nearby city for the weekend; 3 shows at retirement homes on Saturday and after a hotel stay will perform at a local church.
  • Annabelle's bulging schedule needed a trim...so we had to drop out of Girl Scouts.
  • Annabelle is also in school choir...they have a spring concert.

NathanielThe Very Best of ELO, Vol. 2: Ticket to the Moon

  • Just turned 6!  Celebrated with a Lego party with friends and more Legos on his birthday .  It was a day of unwrapping and building!
  • Nathaniel still loves ELO (the 1970s rock band).  Their music fills our house every afternoon.  Serendipitously, ELO released a new album on Nathaniel's actual birthday!  I was frantically calling around town the day before to see who had it.  They couldn't sell it to me until Nathaniel's birthday (release date) - I was lucky to get a copy!  It is called "Ticket to the Moon - the Very Best of ELO Volume II".  Now if I just could have had Jeff Lynne (the lead singer/composer/founder) some by to serenade him!
  • A day after his birthday - he discovered his first wiggly tooth.  This could be a long process...he will only eat soft food or food cut in chunks he can chew on the other side.
  • Nathaniel is onto a new book series now...the "A to Z Mysteries" by Ron Roy.  We also started the "Magic Treehouse" series...but he won't read them until we've read through all the "A to Z Mysteries".

Next Update...Spring 2008!

Some things we are looking forward to in the coming months:

  • Our winter vacation to California and Arizona

  • Spring Break 

  • The snow melt in April!

  • Planting potatos!
