Sarah makes District

Sarah has enjoyed taking Journalism this year. She has always enjoyed writing and has really found a passion for it this year. Sarah was asked to join the the UIL Journalism team at her school. She goes to District competition later this month.

If she does well at District, she will get to go to Regional and will have lettered in Journalism. This means that she will be able to get a High School jacket! She is so excited!! Sarah has also been asked by the district Cub Scout Twilight Camp Committee to write several short stories for camp this summer. She has often said that she would like to be an author of children's books. Who knows?? Maybe we have a future author living with us!!

Hannah and the Light Pole

This past Saturday, the girls were outside riding bikes. Our family rules are that the girls must have helmets on and they aren't to ride in the street. Hannah was riding her bike on the sidewalk and was going to turn around in the street to go the other directions on the sidewalk. As she got ready to do that she noticed a car turning the corner pretty quickly. So, she slammed on her brakes and ran right into the light pole!!

She busted her gums up with her braces. Hannah also had a knot that showed up quickly on her chin. She couldn't handle anything touching her chin. We decided to take her to the er for x-rays. She is lucky that she didn't brake anything. I feel really bad for her. I know she hurts still and the fact that she is still bruised doesn't help going to school. I offered to try and put a little bit of cover up on her bruise, but she passed.

The ER Dr. did give us her X-rays. They are pretty cool. Hannah thinks her braces might be a little messed up. She goes to see Dr. Barbre later in the week. Hopefully she hasn't messed that up!
