Recapping February 2016

February is the start of lots of fabulous things. First, gymnastics competition season begins and I love it. Although it can be tricky getting two girls to two different competition times, it's made easier knowing how much Kezia and Asha love gymnastics. Kezia set her mind to compete at a higher level than what her coaches planned in summer, and had the privilege of training and competing alongside a great friend.

Joel made a club volleyball team and so he was in full swing with practices. We were so proud of him considering that in the fall he was adamant that he wasn't going to play volleyball. But with his height of 5"9 by fall and steadily growing, we knew that it had to be either volleyball or basketball. He played for his school team and at his last tournament, a friend asked if he wanted to try out for club. We had never heard of it and thought he might enjoy it. It was amazing for his self esteem to be offered a spot before tryouts were complete. However, he still loves his track and field.....

We celebrated another family birthday. Our oldest turned 13, officially a teenager.  He has thrived in the French program and made some pretty good friends. All in all, 13 looks good on Joel.
