Annika and Chorus


Annika loves to sing. She has been steadily developing this talent for a couple of years now. She joined the school chorus last year, so this is her second year. She is only required to attend pratice once a week, but that's not enough for her she insists on going twice a week. She adores Mrs. Elliot the music teacher at her school, and the chorus director. Annika also participates in a children's choir during the summer and of course, she sings regularly at church. Well all of this singing is really paying off for her lately. She recently auditioned for a solo and found out on Friday that she got it! They announced it over the intercom at school, even her brothers heard the announcement. She is so excited and we are very proud of her accomplishments.

Sophie Attends Princess Party


Sophie was invited to her 1st friend birthday party this weekend. It was a princess party for her friend Bella. She knows Bella well, because she is in nursery with her at church, I am also Bella's Mom's visiting teacher and friend. Therefore, Sophie has been to her home on several occasions, however this did not stop her from pitching a big 2yr old fit when I tried to drop her off for the party.
I finally got her to stay after spending 15 minutes helping her fashion a crown. She was happy an hour and a half later when I went back to pick her up. I knew she had a great time because her shirt was covered with frosting and she was happily toting her party favors around in her purse. She is such a girl!
