Yes, it’s been a minute–a whole schoolyear, to be exact. Not sure how that happened. Dawn continued in her alternative program and, while the high school schedule and content have been demanding, the school continues to be a great fit for her. The twins started middle school, and we were all pleasantly surprised to find the school was terrific: when I met their teachers at curriculum night, I almost cried. My kids were in the care of engaged, supportive people (for the most part), and they flourished. Here are a handful of highlights: sand angels near Ocean Shores (here in WA), Dani & Danelle at the final performance of the Eastside Precision Drill Team, Dawn making cupcakes and considering opening a future bakery, video gaming together, and Darnell on the court.
To be fair, Dani also played some serious basketball during a season that stretched from October into March. And among the highlights not pictured here are Dani’s band performances (she plays saxophone), Dawn’s dramatic debut in several roles (including Juliette) in her school’s production of “I Hate Shakespeare,” Dawn’s prize-winning artwork, Darnell’s elite Fortnite status–honestly, I could go on and on. Hopefully, instead, I’ll be back on to share more sometime soon.
In the meantime, you can check out the drill team’s performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilf4JbczkQ8
