Science Fair

Noah presented his Science Fair project to the entire Troy CC Community today. His hard work and practiced paid off, and he handled the questions from the judges with ease. Well done, Noah!

Clarinet Talk

I caught my three favorite guys chatting about a clarinet last night....

Food Art

Noah's apple slice.

Brain Workout

Lukas and Noah are great brain exercise athletes - never missing a chance to head downstairs and to do programming.

Pencil, Anyone?

Noah loves to do puzzles. The rest of the family enjoys them. Noah has several puzzles on his wishlist for Christmas and there is no better way to spend dreary, cold, gray winter afternoons than putting together a puzzle.

This is the puzzle that has occupied the sofa table for the last few weeks.

Music to My Ears

Noah and Lukas are thoroughly enjoying their music lessons and I am treasuring the fellowship with this dear music teacher. She is such a sweet Sister in Christ, full of wisdom, and the gentlest of spirit. Sitting in her living room and listening to our boys playing is a weekly treat for me.

Lukas Speech

Lukas was assigned to memorize a 3-5 minute long speech and then deliver it to his peers. He chose George W. Bush speech on the eve of 9-11. After many practices, and adding in a bit of emotion and movement he was ready to deliver it. 

The timer said his speech was 5 minutes 15 seconds, although that did include his introduction which was not supposed to be included in the final time. Lukas thinks he was pretty much right on five minutes for his performance. 

and yes, he will have a longer tie next time :-)
