Merry Christmas

Laura
Laura turned 11 on November 30, and is now in Grade Six.  I can't believe she will be in Junior High School next year.  Laura is turning into quite the musician.  She is really enjoying her piano lessons (third year) and has taken up the trumpet with the school band.  She is practicing the Winnie the Pooh Theme song for the Christmas concert.  Laura has definitely reached the point where it is a pleasure to listen to her play.  This summer Laura really improved her water skiing.  She learned how to drop a ski and ski on one ski.  While she hasn't learned how to put her back foot in the harness yet, she can go a long way on one ski.  I am told that I used to ski with my back foot up in the air too when I was learning.  

Laura tried windsurfing again at Nitinat this summer and got quite good at going back and forth in the calmer winds.  She even started to come back to the same point where she launched.  Should be lots of fun next summer.

This winter Laura is having lots of fun skating.  She has a couple of really close friends, and they have a great time having sleep-overs at each others houses.  It works great as one has horses another raises puppies, and we have the lake.
