I have some catching up to do on the blog here! The month of March ended with spring break, which I’ll save for the next post. Some of the adventures we had before that were:

petting a camel at the Wheaton Academy spring musical. And it didn’t spit at anyone!

At the musical, we cheered on friend Anna. She was part of the children’s choir, which added a nice touch to the performance.

Molly has been working on her sketching skills and showed off her self-portrait.

Peter takes “foo-foo drink” orders every afternoon. Ruth is usually the first to ask for hers.

That scar under Ruth’s right eye? That was from jumping off the neighbors’ swing during an Olympic competition they were having. One of the neighbor girls felt so badly for Ruth that she looked her in the eye as Ruth was crying and told her “I give you a 10!”

We are taking full advantage of our proximity to WA. My dad came over after work one day and worked on some batting practice with the kids.

Jake went through Recognition at USAFA, only this time, rather than being yelled at, he was the one doing the yelling. I’m pretty sure he preferred being on this side of things!

The boys have enjoyed many competitive events…

…which is a perfect segue into our Spring Break week…
