Growing Up

Our kids sure are growing up! Why must they do that?

It's been a while since I've blogged, so I thought I'd post some recent photos of the kids and mention what the've been up to lately.












Kailtin's first year of Girl Scouts is about to come to an end (for the school year). She has really enjoyed it. Everything has to be her idea, you can't convince her how much fun something is going to be...she just doesn't listen. She has learned a lot and gotten to know some fun, sweet girls. The first photo is from a recent ceremony officially welcoming her as a Girl Scout.

This picture shows Kaitlin with some of the patches she has worked hard for this year. They were awarded 'medals' with all of their patches attached.

Today, Kaitlin competed in a Math Challenge Competition. She was one of seven on the 4th grade team and the 5th grade had eight members. Every elementary school in the county competed. There were 17 math teams represented. They worked as a 4th grade team, 5th grade team and as individuals. No one from our school placed in the individual round, but our school took 3rd place for both grades, 1st-5th place plaques were awarded. Everyone was so excited. This was her math coach's first year coaching. She did a fabulous job!! We are all so proud of all the kids. They were so happy! Kaitlin competed against 2 of our neighbors and several other kids we know at other schools.

I believe everyone is looking at a different camera. Happy faces!!
