For Drafting Class, Desire’ had to build a bridge. The course is in drafting, and not in Civil Engineering so though the students were required to build a bridge and test it’s strength, the main object was to build it from their drawing.  Here is the “near” finished result.

Carol was able to participate in the Christmas Choir at our church this past Christmas.  Alia was also able to be in part of it with the Missionettes from church.  They all did such an awesome job.  Now that our children are getting older, we have more time for this type of fun thing.

Winter reared its head today. We received over a foot of snow from last night to today.  The old plow was not very happy that it had to go to work today. Click on a picture to see a larger view.
