Cultural Arts Award

G was honored with third place for Dance Choreography for the Cultural Arts competition through the school district. They presented awards today for the safety poster contest, and citizenship essay contests as well. She was the only one from her school that received any awards at the district level so it was kind of a big deal!



Here she is with her medal ...........................

In other news-

It has been a while since I posted, we all enjoyed Christmas in St. Louis despite the fact that we were all sick at some point or another. The kids were thrilled with their Wii. Even more impressive no one complained about the three gifts they got before they opened the Wii and all its parts.

Everyone is settling in back at school. A friend of mine is going to watch T for me a couple afternoons a week so I can crank out some school work. Even without student teaching I need the same number of credits so I have some work to do this term.

I am an aunt (again). My brother Ted and his girlfriend Amanda welcomed a new baby boy on Jan 3rd. I am headed up to STL to meet Tyler next weekend.
