I haven't posted since Alex's birthday!!! We had a little party at Safari Sam's for him and five of his friends, they had a ton of fun!!
A couple of weeks ago Mark decided his hair was wayyyyy too long, so he got his clippers on and started cutting, with us cheering all along!!
Here is Alex on Valentine's day party at school...
... And Rita in her classroom!
My two oldest daughters Anna and Clara were inducted a few weeks ago into the National Junior Honor Society!! This prestigious organization invites students who have a cumulative GPA of 3.65 or more and who demonstrate leadership and commitment to the community, and is one of the highest academic honors available to middle schoolers!! They will be required to do at least 5 hours of community service every trimester. My oldest daughter Anna had been invited to join last year, but at that time she didn't think it was "cool"... I'm glad she changed her mind! We are very proud of them!!
This weekend Clara and Rita attended a gymnastics meet. Clara had to scratch the floor routine (she has a lower back injury) but managed to place first place in beam with a 9.55 score (the highest she has ever had!). Rita did okay, it wasn't her best meet and she ended up placing sixth all around... But at least they had fun, and that's all that matters!!!
