Starting 2023

The girls kept busy this winter with lots of activities! 

Jemma took several sessions of basketball skills classes on Saturdays and really took a liking to it! She also added a weekly tumbling class in addition to her weekly gymnastics class. She was so excited to finally move up in gymnastics to Intermediate!

Parents were not allowed to stay at Basketball, so I don't have any pictures of that! Also, it's almost impossible to get good pictures at gymnastics. I was able to take this video of Jemma working on her back handspring. 

  

Jade kept busy with soccer through the winter and did weekly team training with a club team. She was offered a spot on the team for spring, which she was super excited about! She also did a volleyball league through the Woodridge Park District which offered weekly practices and games! It was so fun to watch her improve throughout the season!

Jade was so happy to have Grammy and Grampy and Grandma and Grandma at some of her games, too!

Jade had a piece of her artwork selected again this year to be on display as part of the Naperville 203 Art Show! We had fun going downtown Naperville to the Municipal building to see it!

We got to see my niece Cora perform her dance solo when she came to Chicago for a dance competition. She did SO SO good!

The 5th grade band had their first spring concert! Jade is continuing to enjoy playing her flute and has currently passed the 2nd most songs amongst the 5th grade flute players.

We celebrated Nate's Birthday with our family favorite, Dairy Queen!

The 5th graders put on a show that they helped create. It was full of music, poems and dances written and choreographed by the students. Jade chose to play her flute for her part.

The girls both had fun events for Girl Scouts in March. Jade's troop took a self defense class and got to break boards which they were super excited about.

Jemma's troop went to a local kids theater and put on a production of the Wizard of Oz. Jemma was the scarecrow! :)

Phew, we made it to Spring Break!!!
