It finally snowed! And now it's chilly. Why were we feeling a little sad that it didn't feel like winter yet??
One good thing about this weather is that it came during the week where Ava was doing her six hours worth of driving with a district instructor. She managed to get in 4 hours in the evening, on decent roads, and then on Saturday morning, she was able to get in around 2 hours on snowy roads. The instructor took her out into a parking lot to get her comfortable with driving while the roads are unpredictable. I'm really glad that she was able to get that professional instruction under her belt. She seems to be making great progress every time she goes out driving...it's awesome!
Ava informed us that next year she'll probably do a Zero Hour gym class (before school starts each day) to get it out of the way, and allow her to take the child development classes she wants (since Zero Hour will free up one of her hours during the day.) She'll need her license and a car for both the Zero Hour, and child development activities, along with marching band this summer, and planning on working. Whew! There's a lot to plan for in the next six months!
We enjoyed the 1st concert of the year at RHS...Ava's band played great! In addition, the next day G was back at RHS for the performance that takes place every year for 4th graders. The Wind Ensemble gives a performance to introduce the kids to the instruments, and then show them how much fun music is. I'm proud to say that G is thinking of staying within the brass family...either trumpet, trombone, or French horn (mostly because it's a left-handed instrument, and...he's a lefty.) It'll be interesting to see how this all shakes out.
In the meantime, he's been having fun building a helicopter out of his new K'NEX. So cool!
