Keeping Busy

It has been a very, very challenging few weeks.  We are taking things one day at a time and doing things we enjoy to keep busy.  We have done lots of science experiments.  We explored acids and bases. yeast and mold.  Needless to say Claire's teacher was quite impressed when she stopped over for a visit.
We have been hanging about and doing chores.  Had to take the van in for an oil change which meant some blue icy drinks.  We have been playing with our friends and swimming.
We have been going to skating lessons each Saturday.  We have both decided to pursue figure skating for right now, although Claire may still want to play hockey next year, tough decisions.  They are getting better each week.
We sweet talked Mom into taking us to Sweet & Sassy for some pampering.  We had our first manicures, pedicures and then we got some stylish haircuts complete with glitter spray.
 



We have been tending our garden.  We had a banner crop of strawberries - this is only one day's worth of picking.  Everyday is something strawberry.


Finally, Claire has been working on her piano lessons.  Her teacher is quite impressed with her since she only started in March.  Here is a little song for you.




Thanks for checking up on us.  We will continue to take one day at a time and try to keep busy.

Gymnastics

Well it has been a while since we updated here, but I thought it was a good place to share a few videos.

Claire has been working hard at gymnastics and mastering some new skills. Enjoy!



She is learning to flip into a bridge position.




Learning front pull overs on the bars.



And learning front support and casting.
