Ella made the swim team and wows us with her breast stroke...placing 4th at her first swim meet!
Her team is very competitive and one of the top Olympic qualifying pools in the country. We aren't interested in being overly committed with sports, but for now she seems to like going for an hour to swim.
She moved out of ballet since it was very expensive/straying out of our comfort zone. Who knows, maybe ballet again next year, maybe swim...we'll let her get a feel for different things and then decide. Go Ella!
John made a very big decision to stop gymnastics in order to pursue his love for engineering. It was a hard choice because he was progressing so fast in gymnastics and on track with a scholarship-type program. However, he loves building more than anything.
We found a competitive robotics club whose leader is an engineer grad from MIT. He is currently being taught EV3 programming (Lego's robot programming system). He will also be learning C+ programming and VEX robotics soon. Their current mission is to build a Lego rescue bot which can save lives during a natural disaster. He is absolutely loving it and will be competing next month!
While helping with our kitch demo, John's hand went through part of our tile backsplash and off to the ER we went. Why is he smiling in this photo? Because we were laughing at how much the medical technician wrapped his hand up. I think she went through 2 whole rolls of gauze.
Stitches out!
You can see our kitchen is quite a construction sight.
Gross. Gross. Gross.
Nana kept projects running while we escaped for Disneyland with our friends Nichole and Ivan.
CarsLand is a fun place...where you forget vanity completely.
We went for Mickey's Halloween Party. Do you like our authentic homemade costumes?
Jessie And Woody did!...
and pretty much EVERYONE at Disneyland.
(Just don't tell them I threw a bunch of stuff together the day before---using whatever I could find around the house).
Nana even donated her favorite old t-shirt for Ella's fringe vest and skirt.
I think people felt sorry for us or something.
John is a robot, in case you didn't know!
We used leftover plumber's tape from our remodel to give him that "really cool look".
Can you hear my sarcasm?
We are now calling him "John-Bot"
John-Bot makes me smile.
