Happy Birthday Claudia!

Claudia turned 12 today.

It was a good birthday week for Claudia.

 


Awards Day

The girls had their award assemblies on Friday morning. Claudia received an award for her Learning Skills and Work Habits. Congratulations Claudia!

 Angela receiving her Academic Award from the principal.

 Congratulations Angela!


Speeches

It’s that time of year again, for Angela and Claudia it means speech time. This is Angela’s last speech for elementary school. Her topic this year was World Mysteries. Claudia chose The History of Monopoly as her topic. Both girls advanced to the gym from their classes.

Unfortunately they only gave one days notice on who was going to the gym, so neither Susan or I could make it. Angela placed second in the intermediate speakers, however the boy who won is going to Mexico this week so since he cannot make the Family of Schools finals, Angela gets to go in his place.

Congratulations to both Claudia and Angela for a job well done!


Walk In The Forest

Claudia, Chloe and I went for a walk in the forest on Sunday. While we were at the park, a train went by and Chloe was barking at it.

Claudia found a small hill that would make a good toboggan hill.

Claudia figured she didn’t need a sled.


Two Down, One To Go

Claudia got her top braces on today, in two and a half years we’ll be braces free. Gillian is done and Angela gets hers off in a couple of weeks.


Finally Some Snow

The girls were happy that we finally got some snow that stuck around. Angela and Claudia’s first snowman.

Chloe enjoying the snow.

Claudia taking a break.

Chloe is pretty good about sitting for a picture.

Later in the day I set up the camera on a tripod and then was throwing the ball for her. Using the remote for the shutter I was able to catch her catching the ball.


Around The House

Some pictures from today. It’s nice being able to see Chloe’s face.

Not sure what she is looking at or thinking about.

Claudia practicing Silent Night on her guitar.


Cross Country Claudia

Claudia ran in the Mississauga North Family of Schools Cross Country Meet at Erindale Park. She had been practicing during lunch for the race. It is the first time she has run cross country. She finished 67th in the Grade 6 girls age group. Congratulations Claudia! Here she is crossing the finish line.


Soccer Photo of the Week

Here is my soccer photo of the week from Claudia’s game on Monday. I didn’t make it back in time for Angela’s game on Thursday, but she had a great game. Claudia played goal again for about half of the first half.


The Guitar World

Claudia has been taking guitar lessons this year, she has been enjoying them, she moved from Monday nights to Wednesdays. She really likes her teacher, Dion, and we have run into a few people who have had him as a teacher and they all say good things. Her lessons are 30 minutes and I enjoy sitting in the store while I wait for her lesson. The owner and people that work there are very good and go out of their way to help people.
