colors on ice 2012

Em's 4th year of ice skating is complete. Once again, she looked forward to the one time a week for lessons so that she could see her bff Reise. They are the sweetest friends and are so blessed to experience life together at such a young age and, Lord willing, through out the rest of their lives. They call themselves "sisters" because we are R's godparents.
R's parents were on a trip the week leading up to the show, so we had her for the weekend. It was a wild and crazy weekend and I wipe my brow and am thankful it is over :) not because of R, but because of some interesting events.
On Thursday I woke up completely immobilized because of pain through out every joint in my body. I seriously felt like I had arthritis. I went to my chiropractor and he thought it was odd, but didn't want to do any test until Monday, just to see if it passed. He told me to take it easy...and I laughed, because I knew what kind of weekend I had ahead of me. That evening I had the girls first rehearsal, Friday I had to decorate for a wedding at the church and then it was dress rehearsal for the girls ( so that meant hair and make up=2 hours at least) and then Saturday I needed to be at the church for the wedding and to serve the meal, clean up and head home to get the girls ready for the first show that evening. I woke up Saturday feeling much better. It only took about 5 minutes for me to feel a bit normal. I was so thankful, knowing how busy my day was going to be. By Sunday morning I was feeling like I had never had any pain at all. Whatever it was did pass and I don't feel anything weird today. After talking to my bff Stacie, she suggested it was a Vitamin D deficiency and advised tanning. I upped my Omega-3 vits and have a great tan now and feel so much better. I don't want to take any chances of this happening again or have to deal with arthritis later in life, so I set an appointment with our Homeopathic Doctor Alison and will be getting on a remedy for myself.

Ufda, I have been trying to upload the video of Em's routine, but I am not patient enough, I may have to try again later. But she did very well and is looking forward to next season!

The Next Takenobu?

Micah started the cello this past week. He is very excited to learn a new instrument. He was also excited to find that knowing the piano makes learning cello less intimidating.
I think ima gonna like listening to this new sound in the house.

What's up with Emma?

Well, baby girl is getting fitted for an Schwartz appliance to follow in her big brothers footsteps. She should have her piece on the 22nd of March.

She is getting a bit taller lately and has been thrilled to "finally" wear some of the jeans that have been tucked away for her.
Early January we took her (and Creed) to see a Homeopathic Dr. to see if we could straighten out her lactose intolerance and it worked brilliantly. She and Creed are so much more comfortable. So thankful for those that study the natural resources that God has given us on this Earth.
Emma is excelling in her Piano lessons. She loves playing more and more each day, you can hear it every time she sits down to play, which is many times a day. In February she played for Gold Cup and achieved 2 cups this year. We are so proud of her!
I am enjoying her and this age so much right now. She is such a help to me around the house and longs to be in the kitchen. One Saturday afternoon we just baked and baked and baked some more.
School is going very well for her. Math is her favorite subject and was so excited to begin learning division.
Next week she has her annual Ice Show. Picture to follow.

We are the Champions

What a great group of boys that played with all their hearts together and won!
They have some pretty great coaches too :)
Such a proud kid!
