Hi everyone! Here’s what’s going on in our home lately.
Rachel got her braces taken off. They worked! Her teeth don’t wear together anymore and she has eaten so many nuts, now that she can chew them without worrying about breaking any brackets. The retainer situation is not so great, but the orthodontist says we’ll make a new one in a few weeks and maybe that will help
Avery has her learner’s permit and has started driving. It’s so exciting for her and also a little scary. She got a Garmin for Christmas and she gets a few extra intensity moments on days we go driving. She’s already planning how to raise money to buy a car. We’re pretty proud of her.
Ivan cut his hair. Shaved it all off. He gets petted on his head a lot now as it’s growing in all fuzzy and soft.
Evelyn and Hazel had a vaulting show. The theme was the Polar Express, and they were not upset at all that their costumes were pajamas. They both did really well and no one froze. It’s fun to watch them. They work so hard and it pays off at the shows.
We got a 3-D printer for Christmas. We have printed snakes, chopstick holders, an octopus, various mathematical spaces and models, fish, snowflakes, and Ivan’s head. We’re having a good time and would love ideas.
A snowstorm dropped several inches of snow. Our snowman fell over, sad day. Now we’re working on a fort or igloo, we’re not sure which yet.
We’ve played with friends, cousins, had dinner with neighbors and worked on cleaning and projects. On to the new year!
