School Pictures

Elementary school pictures for this year. Not the greatest, but worth documenting.

Violin

Linda has been in taking orchestra at school this year. She plays the violin. She has really improved over the course of the year. It's been fun to attend her concerts. Next week she will be in a big concert that includes some of the other elementary schools and also the high school. We hope to get her some private lessons in the summer. She has signed up for orchestra next school year at the middle school.

Here she is before a concert. They have to wear black and white.

Patient Care Aid

This year I decided I wanted to go back to school. I've always wondered how I'd like the medical field so I tried out the Patient Care Aid class at Vista Adult School to see how I liked it. It was one night a week for 4hrs. a class. It was also a little test to see how I could handle homework and being gone one night a week and still manage the kids and everything going on with them. It was a great class. I learned a lot of skills that will help me to help people, whether they're recovering from surgery or elderly. I don't plan on being a Patient Care Aid(Home Health Aid) for a career but I loved going to class and learning about our bodies. It was nice to have some friends at school and to be learning. I finally got my certificate and my skill certifications from the school today.

Another One Bites the Dust

Well, another one bites the dust. Linda got her first pair of glasses this week. Unlike Bruce and I, Linda only needs to wear her glasses when trying to see the board or when having trouble seeing things far away. She looks great and she was excited to use them for the first time at school today.
