Our artists!

Hello everyone!
I'm a proud mom who has to brag a little! The boys each had a piece of the artwork chosen for Youth Art Month at our local art museum! Art is chosen from students all over Manitowoc and then on display for a month -- today was the big opening. So we took the boys to find their art and they were so proud to show us. Isaac class was learning about Monet, so they did a Monet style painting in acrylics, and Adam's class was learning about still life art. I'm trying to post the pictures I took -- hope it works! The boys spend lots of their free time drawing and creating so I'm so thrilled for them that their art teachers recognize their talent!
Yesterday we spent the day at the boy's Destination Imagination competition. Both boy's teams did very well and earned some special awards for the presentations they did. It was a blast for everyone! I was Adam's team's coach and was so proud of my little 1st and 2nd graders who placed 6th out of the 13 teams they competed against! The ages of the teams were 1st-5th grade. Isaac's team got 3rd place and he was competing at the middle school level because he had a 6th grader on his team. He was the youngest on his team and did so well. I can't wait til next year!
We've been enjoying all the snow we have this year! Finally! We had almost 16 inches in one weekend, and an additional 10 inches a few days later. Ryan brought the snow blower in the backyard and made a huge pile of snow for the kids to play on with their sleds. We have two snowmen and a fort too. If we have to have winter, it should be just like this!
Missing all of you!
Love, Joy
