Yesterday morning it rained and thundered, rained that day, and frozed and snowed last night. Thankfully, the sun has come out and is melting the ice on the roads. Yes, we have played in the snow. And I suspect we shall get some more snow, because Caleb prayed for it to snow five times.

Karate testing went real well. Ethan was all tense, and went through his kata in lightning speed. I could have had much deeper stances and better power in mine, but I think I'll pass. Naomi and Samuel did real well, but poor Joshua didn't. He probably passed, but he's going to ask to reperform next week since he knows he can do it better. We finished our techniques and self-defense early (I did bad on my back kick), so we got to break boards that night. We all did real well. I lovvvvve breaking boards!

We got our cds from coventry music yesterday, the company that does Kildare a group I HIGHLY recommend. We got Morning's Dance and Evening's Dance. It's soooo beautifuly!

Oh, I'm so glad God gave us music! Sometimes it's beauty so touches me I think I could live just on sound without food or water. I would rather lose my sight than my hearing, just because music is so wonderful. I wish so much that I could make truely beautiful music. I hate being mediocre, espe0cially on the violin. I wish too that I could get a real evulation (sp?) of my playing. It always seems like it squeaks to me. Maybe I should record myself, and listen to it.

Ok, that was kinda a tangent.

I wish we could just adopt Melissa. I wish I could just fix all her problems, and make her feel loved.
