Yearbook Meeting

Hello Everyone!
Well, I have been taken to task tonight by my mom for not writing in a week. Sorry. I would have written if there had been anything other than the same old stuff going on. We have basically been doing school, school, and more school. We only have 14 weeks left in the school year. We are very excited to get it done and start enjoying our summer break.

Today was a different sort of day for us. We had our yearbook staff meeting. Elizabeth is on the staff and hopefully Rebekah will also be able to help out some. We are getting a bit of a late start on things this year so we had to have a major pow-wow session. We met from 10am -3pm. We ordered pizza for lunch and got a lot of work done. Everyone has been assigned their pages to do and we will meet again next Thursday for another long session. Elizabeth has to start collecting pictures from other home schoolers that have attended events throughout the year. She also has to have her copy done for her pages. We learned today that copy is the text that you write on each page describing the event. I really think being on the yearbook staff is going to be a great thing! All of us are going to learn so much.

Rachel has learned something new. She has figured out what a phone is in the last 2 days. She will put it up to her ear like she is talking. It is the cutest thing ever! She is also getting better at feeding herself. She really doesn't want anyone to feed her. She wants to do it herself.

Elizabeth and Rebekah are preparing for the race car derby that is put on at Awana every year. I don't remember if I have said anything about it before or not. Basically every year at Awana the older kids create derby cars out of blocks of wood and then race them. This will be Elizabeth's last year and Rebekah's first. They are really looking forward to it. The other night Mike took their drawings and traced them onto the blocks of wood and cut them out. The girls have been sanding them smooth for the last few days. This weekend I think they will try and get as much done as possible. The cars have to be weighed on Wed. but don't have to be completed until the night of the race which is the 26th. I am looking forward to race day. It is always fun.

Well, that's about it. I'll write again when I have something of interest to say. I love you all!
In Him,
Christina
