Fractured elbow |
-Lexi decided to play violin for the 4th grade orchestra. The orchestra director presented to the 4th graders and whatever he said, Lexi was sold. She is so excited to learn the violin. The 4th grade orchestra is before school two mornings/week. And because she is playing violin, she can now stop piano lessons. She was not sad.
-Stephen fell onto his elbow on the school playground cement while catching a football and fractured his elbow. He had to wear a cast for 4 weeks and was not able to finish his soccer season-that was hard for him. And I am tired of being a frequent flyer at the orthopedic doctor's office with our boys.
-Stephen decided to try a musical theater class at Avalon that meets weekly during the school year.
-Isaac went on the band/orchestra retreat. The director was begging for parent chaperones, so I went along to help. It was a very late night, but overall a good experience.
-Julia had her first homecoming dance! She had fun and went to Applebee's after the dance with some friends.
-We celebrated my Dad's 70th birthday! We love you!
-We watched the His Little Feet choir perform at our old church in South Haven. It was good to connect with the directors again and see friends from our S Haven days.
-Julia had her first choir concert. She likes the director and is happy to be in a choir with students who want to be there.
-HC had fall break, unfortunately WO did not. Nate took Isaac, Stephen and Lexi backpacking with the Gabrielse in the Deam Wilderness Area near Bloomington. Stephen was nervous about backpacking with his cast, but thankfully they had dry weather.
-Caleb had fall break and was home for a couple of days.
-We did our first Soul Kids girls sleepover/campout. It was fun, it was exhausting, there was a mouse in the room and the girls had a great time.
-I received my first jury duty summons, how exciting! But, I was never called in.
-There was a freak snowstorm on Halloween and the kids went trick or treating with their friends.
