Yes, I'm still among the living. I know it's been forever since I've updated my blog, but I promise my entire 3 person viewing audience that I will be posting more often! I need to upload a bunch of pictures anyway so that I don't lose them to another computer crash.
Today was a great day! Rachael & Julia's Rose-Hulman bridge building project won the engineering competition. The bridge was just about the ugliest thing you ever saw, but it withstood 40 lbs. of force, which surpassed the old record by a full 28 lbs!
After riding my evening high with their win, I was enjoying my computer time alone after everyone else went to bed. Nick came downstairs and brought me a "romance story" that he had written. For those of you who need translation, it says... "Once upon a time... One day, the flowers bloomed and then it was romance. Then they got married. The End" Anyone who knows my struggles will realize what a HUGE feat this was for him! With Nick's cerebral palsy, teaching him writing has been the bane of my existence. He is an amazing reader, spells really well for a 5 year old, and is doing pretty well in math. Writing, on the other hand, has been the tear-filled subject every day. Yes, there are misspelled words, 'interesting' punctuation, backwards letters, etc. but he wrote this on his own, for my enjoyment. In my eyes, this is the SWEETEST story ever written!!!!
