Been a busy few weeks…….

It's been a busy few weeks.  We've have the usual piano, trumpet and violin lessons and J.C. Kids choir practice.  Throw in several indoor soccer games and three different school choir concerts.  There was the School Art Expo and several church meetings.  Guess it's just that time of the year.  Sometimes, it's a little bit tiring, but it's all good.

One Sunday, we took a day for a “family day”.  We headed out to Milan to see Thomas Edison’s birthplace and museum.  Along the way, we stopped for brunch at a little restaurant in downtown Norwalk.  We love finding local places to eat at when we’re out.



We had a little time before the museum opened and stopped at a local antique store.  The kids love to check out antique stores.  Not.



We enjoy checking out the homes of yesterday and hearing interesting facts of the people that have had such an impact on how we live today.



The fourth-grader has been enjoying indoor soccer.  Indoor soccer is very different from outdoor.  Besides being obviously, indoors, the ball bounces around.  A lot.  It’s almost as if the players are in a live pinball game.  There are walls, and getting the ball out from the wall can be a challenge.  All in all, she’s enjoyed playing.  There have been no practices.  The intent is to just get the girls some playing time and be ready for the outdoor season.  Practice for outdoor starts this week and I think  she’ll be ready and anxious to play outside.

 







March was “Music in our Schools Month”.  We’ve had three different evening concerts in the last three weeks.  Although one of them was really, really long (about two hours) they all were enjoyable.  The kids do a great job.



Last weekend was the district’s annual Art Expo.  The fourth-grader had a couple pieces of her artwork on display.





I’m not sure what these kids were up to.  Probably no good.



On Sunday, Grandma and Aunt Pam were here for a visit.  We had a rousing game of “Sorry” to end the visit.



So, there ended March.  Happy April, everyone!
