Kindra's 12th Birthday

Yesterday was Kindra's 12th birthday. Hard to believe, they really do grow up fast. Especially considering she's 12 going on 17....

Obviously our trip to Lodge at Cedar Creek was her birthday party, but we saved some presents for her actual birthday. She was opening them late last night, since Tuesdays are especially crazy around here. They get home from school at 3:45, rush to change into their dance clothes and grab a snack, and then we are out the door at 4:00 to head to Merrill for dance class. We got home around 8:30...then of course everyone needs a bath and PJs and time to settle down and head to bed.

Anna has choir after school, Kindra has youth group this evening, and Noah has an appointment with his "happy doctor" at 6. Wish us luck...last week's appointment was a nightmare!!

Oh...wanted to let everyone know that Anna has her first gymnastics meet this weekend. Hopefully they will let me video tape her routines, I already know we can't take pictures....the flash can cause some real problems if they lose their balance! She has four routines, one on floor, one on vault, one on bars, and one on balance beam. We don't expect much from this first meet, the coach says if they even make it through all 4 routines, it will be a miracle!! But she is very excited, and we are too! The meet is in Marshfield, WI....about 2 hours from our house. Yuk. And we have to be there all day....leaving the house around 830AM, not getting home until around 7PM. Pavan is on call this weekend, so Kindra is planning to stay home with Amaya and I will take Noah with me. Keeping my fingers crossed that he will be having a good day....

More later,
