Kids' Activities

Well, its been awhile, but I updated the school pictures on the right side panel. And here is a glimpse of what has been keeping our kiddos busy lately.

With only one summer wrestling camp under his belt, Trent took a courageous leap into his school wrestling team this season. As a 7th grader, he gets the benefit of learning from experienced 8th grade boys. He also got a HUGE benefit when his school hired a retired (high school) wrestling coach with over 25 years of coaching experience. It's mid-season now. He's coming home after each practice with new experiences, more strategies, and a determination to keep going - even though, "it's really hard." Additionally, he switched from baritone to tuba in band this year. In the picture, he's playing a sousaphone for a holiday parade, but generally, he holds a regular tuba in school band and church orchestra.

Megan loves a stage! She's been taking a weekly acting class, would love to get into musical theater experiences, and is also in Drama Club at school. She took up trumpet this year and actually practices. She loves being in band! And, although she has taken a few "cold" weeks off from swim practices, she enjoys swimming and can swim all four strokes very well. Megan continues practicing her creative artistry in any ways possible. She LOVES to bake, created a (2nd) company called "Megalicious Cakery," creates crafts out of anything, and is currently designing her Valentine's box.

Mr. Dylan is a hoot (so many words to describe him, hard to pick one)! He's been taking golf lessons 1-2 times per week with his new clubs from Sito & Judo, and his new golf shoes & glove from Grandma and Grandpa. He's a super star student without much effort. His personality shows though in every facial expression (always followed by a smile), and he's always on the go. We're very lucky to have neighbors with boys his age who love to ride bikes, play basketball, video games, & street hockey, or just roll down grassy hills. Perfect weather for everything Dylan loves right now!
