How busy are we?

So busy that Emily has to squeeze in cello practice between dinner and dance.  She said wearing the leotard and tights actually helped her play a bit better.  Ha! 

Her cello teacher started her on bowing.  She has been just plucking the strings to practice fingering.

The girls started taking dance class. They are beyond thrilled.  Emily said it was "relaxing and beautiful."  She loves the music and the girls and her teacher!

 

Both girls got new glasses this week.  Tara's prescription has really changed.  She has bifocals.

And we found that Emily has a lazy eye and is far sighted. (why she was still having trouble seeing).

We may have to patch one eye for a while.  She has eye "exercises" she has to do.

Emily went to a birthday party at Jump Jam.  Pink shorts in the middle.

Everyone is busy but, in a good place. 

We went to the parent night for 8th grade.  Tara is doing great....all her teachers love her. She has a 104% in math!  what? There is even a boy that follows her around (hmmm).  Not in any of her classes, just likes to talk.  Emily is in TSA before and after school a lot-she's doing structural modeling, dragster and digital photography. 

We had a prayer answered.  I came home and smelled smoke.  It was outside in our heat pump.  There were wires burning and the smell was blown into the house.  We had them replaced and were reminded how blessed we are on a daily basis that this house is still standing.  Really happy about the timing there!
