Isaac ran in his first track meet this week. He ran the 1600, the 800 and did the long jump. I loved watching him run!!! Looking forward to many more track meets. When Ryan was in college in track, he and other guys who threw shot put and discus called the runners "stick dudes" Isaac is definitely a stick dude!
Isaac is glad to be running outside after spending the winter in the pool swimming for both his school swim team and the YMCA.
Here's Adam prepping for his school Science Fair - He was studying dry ice and how it goes directly from a solid to gas. He built a contraption that allowed him to use the gas from dry ice to create bubbles. The gas goes through that tube that he then dipped in dish soap. The bubbles were amazing! That's Isaac's hand you see holding the bubbles - if they touch bare skin they popped but on cotton they'd last and you could hold them.
Adam played the scarecrow in his class's Decades Project. The kids in his class all studied a decade, wrote a research paper on it, and then combined all their knowledge to create a play -- these characters "visited" each decade and met people like Rosa Parks, JFK and other greats. They got to perform their play for the entire school. Amazing!!! It was incredible to see the amount of creativity and hard work his class put into it.
Our city's Optimist Club honors students in 6th and 12th grade at different schools each month. April was Adam's school and he was chosen by his teachers to be honored with Student of the Month! We were invited to a luncheon for the kids ... Adam had to give a speech and did a great job! Ryan and I were so proud! This is the picture that was in the newspaper.
The kids keep us busy and I wouldn't have it any other way!
We miss you all!
Love, Joy
