I haven't made the time to blog lately, but I still wanted to catch you up on what we have been doing.
Caleb was one of 12 scouts who went on the 50 miler bike ride over Christmas break. Only two finished the entire 50 miles and we were so proud of Caleb for being one of those two! You may not know that in December, Caleb was finally diagnosed with late lyme disease. It had progressed to transient arthritis in his large joints that would come and go over periods of a few days at a time. He has been unwell for the past 6 months, so it was incredible that he could do this bike ride after being treated with medication for lyme disease for only 2 weeks. Way to go, Caleb!
Savannah has been going to a kids skating group where they teach pre-school age kids to skate during the day when the big kids are at school. She is having so much fun! Especially since they play all her favorite songs and turn on the disco ball!
Joshua celebrated his 10th birthday with a Nerf Gun party for a bunch of his friends. It was FREEZING outside, so we were very thankful for our basement that they could be crazy in! There was a lot of ambushing going on, and I was fortunate to escape with my camera intact!
Samuel became a cub scout and passed off his Bobcat. He is so excited to finally be a part of the fun! He has been going with me to cub day camp since he was 2, so it is about time!
And not a moment soon enough, Joshua moved up to Webelos and passed his cub shirt down to Samuel! He will have plenty of room to grow into his shirt since I brought home a medium and large for him to try on before deciding that he was definitely a medium. So I packed up the other shirt to return to the scout office and sewed on all the badges. When Joshua tried it on, we realized that I had accidently packed up the wrong shirt and sewn the badges onto the large!!!! Oh well.....maybe it will encourage him to grow!
And last, but definitely not least, Samuel has returned to the pool! When all he wanted for Christmas was a Webkinz, Santa decided to give him a membership to the local YMCA swim team. He has LOVED being back in the pool! He already competed in his first meet where he collected 2nd place ribbons for all 4 events that he swam in! For those of you who know USA swimming, he is currently competing in the BB division.
