:P update

So life has been a tiny bit insane! Shark had his birthday this last week he is 13 which should just not be right! He is a real blast and he has started to come to more things with the engineer and I so we are having tons of fun! You're the best!

I have been preparing for piano festival... This will be my 6th year participating and I find that completely hard to believe. I love playing the piano at home for myself but playing for anybody makes me incredibly nervous, its crazy that this is the sixth time I have pushed myself to preform for a judge! 

We have had a few more quiz bowls this semester and done very well in all of them. I am so excited about how well we have done. I really truly love working with my teammates, we work so well together, we help each other find the answer, when we get frustrated somebody will say something that will make you laugh and feel better, and we just have tons of fun. Some of my favorite memories are from quiz bowls and I am so grateful to as a homeschooler to have this wonderful opportunity.

Along similar lines we are preparing for science bowl competition. It is full of rules and strategies that I don't really understand, but somehow during practice our freshman/sophomore team was only a few points behind the junior/senior team. 
I have also taken over the preK/kindergarten sunday school class which has been a lot of fun! The kids are great, but man do I wish we had more space! The majority of the class are boys and after they sat relatively still in church the last thing they want to do is sit still for me, I have gotten very good at managing to come up with games that involve movement with out running into the walls! I have a more involved project planned for next week and I hope to have pictures to share. 

Glory to God for All Things
Cecilia!
