January 2017

This January we have experienced some strange weather.  The weather alternates from cold to warm.  Usually, the kids play in snow this time of year.  We've actually been able to visit the playground.  The kids went back to school after Christmas Break and are so happy to see each other when they get home from school.  One of their favorite things to play is dress up.  They go on all sorts of adventures.  Liam started basketball with Upwards Basketball.  He does well at practice.  He's getting better at games and is gaining confidence.  One of these days, he'll actually handle the ball during a game.  Liam had his Karate Banquet.  He earned the teamwork award and a trophy.  Lilly also earned a participation trophy.  Sometimes, she gets to participate at practice with Liam.  Lilly got her hair cut and donated it to Wigs For Kids.  We also celebrated Chinese New Year.  The kids made some lanterns to replace the ones that got ruined.  Lilly helped make our rice crispy treat dragons.  The kids were excited to get money and chocolate money in their red envelopes.
