Last night was Madeline's final jumprope performance. Her team performed for eight minutes during the halftime show of the Wizards/Hornets game at the Verizon Center. It was very awesome! Kent took a nice video which you can see in the previous post.
We are sad to see the performance season come to a close. The current coaches are moving on, but luckily, a couple of parents have agreed to continue the team next year.
With the school's season coming to end, Madeline has signed on to take jumprope classes with a new company. She plans to try out for their competitive team in the fall, as well. In order to pursue jumprope, Madeline had to let gymnastics go after several years with the sport. So far, she is happy with her decision.
She is swimming twice a week and has decided to train for a 5K with a running group two afternoons a week. She'll need a buddy runner, and I am hoping it will be me. I am hoping I can work my way up to three miles over the next couple of months.
Things are busy around here, but pretty calm. We have no big projects in the works: no home to shop for, no job to hunt for, and no studio to build. I'd like to find some hobbies to keep busy with and have picked out some projects for spring and summer. Mostly, I'd like to refinish a few pieces of furniture, complete our guest room, paint a few rooms, plant a vegetable garden, and do some small landscaping things.
I started by updating my bathroom with a new shower curtain and a few new accessories this weekend. Always looking for a bargain, I found the wall hanging at our Goodwill. Kent's not a fan of the curtain, but luckily, he has his own bathroom to use. I love mine.
