Jared

I haven't blogged about Jared lately.  He's a great kid who is happy just being home. This week, because of our warm weather, he spent some time perfecting a back flip on the trampoline.  His strength and bravery continue to amaze us (though he still doesn't want to go back to gymnastics or as he calls it: "that sweaty gym").  This week he also had Business Days in his class. He did a presentation about scientists and dressed the part. Though he doesn't want to be a scientist any more, now he want to be a computer programmer.





Choir Concert

Kaitlin sang in her spring choir concert this week.  She started the year not being able to sing harmonies. She worked with me at home, practicing the parts so she could get them just right.  Now she is singing harmonies more easily  and even sings the alto line in church.  It's clear that she is the leader of her section in choir.  It's fun to watch the choirs get better and better as the year progresses.


Deconstruction

We finished painting the railings in the kitchen.  They look much nicer.  Chuck also spent the weekend taking out all the upper kitchen cabinets and then working on the wiring.  He had to move an outlet, and then he added all the wiring for the upper and lower cabinet lighting.  Next week we'll take out the lower cabinets and start work on the floor.



Kaitlin and I got our hair cut this week.

LOVE the haircuts. How fun for you to do that together. Can't wait to see it in person. Zach's looking over my shoulder and just wondered when I'm going to visit you next. We'll need to plan something pretty soon - Women's Conference is this month!

I am impressed at all the things you are tackling yourselves. Chuck is pretty amazing at all the things he can do.
