Aphrodite


In Anna's 7th grade English class, students studied and recreated Greek gods and goddesses. Anna decided to study Aphrodite. At the end of the project, she got to dress the part and make a 1st person speech.

Bowling


Mom and Lydi bowling. Cooper's Research department recently took an afternoon at the bowling alley, along with our families. Lydi turned out to be a great bowler. Her score was only 2 points lower than her dad's score!

Lydi's Body Art



Lydi's artistic streak has started to show. She loves markers, and her favorite medium is herself.

Surprise Visitors

Lydia, Ida, and Emery Edwards dropped in on us in early December. We have really missed having their family nearby, so it was a delightful treat to visit and catch up with them. While here, Ida called up Chris to reminisce about arm wrestling, and to say 'hi' to Chris' new wife LaTrisha.
