Proficient with Distinction, again!

So who cares if the other day he went to school with his shirt on backwards and his pants on inside out? (True story - it really happened) It's a little known fact that Cole has a bit of the Absent Minded Professor in him. But now I'm putting his necap scores here so you will all know what I've know all along - Cole is practically a genius. Following in his brother's footsteps, he scored in the "proficient with distinction" range in both math and reading. This was Cole's first year to take the necaps and he was very nervous about it. He had heard that the teachers dim the lights and play scary music during the testing. Well, despite the spooky atmosphere, he did very well.

Great job Cole. We love you for how unique, unusual, and intelligent you are.

More Dance!

The tiny little girl in pigtails is a classmate of Heather's. She is 4 days older than Heather. The twins in the front row left are also classmates with Heather.

Six months of skidding down to the town hall, every Saturday morning, through snow storms and freezing rain, while also trying to get everyone to a basketball game will get you this:
