April update

April was a busy month for us.  Sophia entered the science fair.  Her experiment was testing which kind of homemade glue held the most weight.  The flour one (just flour and water) held 90 pounds.  Sophia had fun making the glue and helping test the glues.

















Sophia performed with the Chinese group at multicultural night.   She listened to the song in Mandarin for about a week and then practiced a couple of times with the group.  She had no idea the meaning of the song (we still don't!) but she had a blast doing it.  She looked so cute in her dress.   It was neat to see her on-stage with everyone that looked like her.

Sophia learned to ride her bike without training wheels.  Now riding her bike is her favorite past time.  She rides every day.

Sophia and I joined Steve at a re-enacting event.  It was a market fair event so there was plenty of things to do.  Sophia had a blast playing with the kids.  She played for hours on end which meant I got to sit down and knit for a while.  It was a relaxing weekend, totally unplugged.  The nights were cold but I managed to survive the 39 degree weather without a problem.  I am glad we were able to just hang out all weekend together.
