While I have been busy making sure you know what blocks we are doing for the 2011 BOMquilts.com, “Purely Nine”, my children have continued on with their daily lives.  DD#1 is in the school’s one act play, and last year’s took state so there’s a lot of pressure to follow in their footsteps.  DD#2 sold Girl Scout cookies, spent a night with a friend and continued on her quest to be the blondest brunette I’ve ever seen.  Our son is going to bridge to Boy Scouts at the end of March and is (hopefully) remembering to behave in school.   DD#3 is busy brown-nosing and being loved by her teachers … until she gets home and melts down until bedtime.

One of the special things our two younger kids did was to play the bells in a performance at church.  I cannot say how much we treasure their church music classes.   This is also the last year for our son as he has reached the age/grade limit for the Sacred Arts class, which makes each month’s performance that much more precious.
