Sophie's Month

March basically was the month of Sophie!  Her class was asked to invent a simple machine, with the help of Dad she was able to pull this off, she invented the new and improved hair tie organizer that spins!! Sophie was chosen as one of the finalist for her class, two were chosen from each third grade class and then asked to present in front of their peers who were also finalist. From the presentation she recieved 2nd place out of all the third graders for her simple machine invention. Way to go Sophie!

We also celebrated Sohpie's 9th Birthday on the 24th of March! I think she had a blast and according to Sophie, "I got EVERYTHING on my birthday wish list!" Thank Heavens! JK She got one gift from us and a birthday party for a couple of her closest and dearest friends. They enjoyed watching the new movie "Meet The Muppets" while eating treats,  pizza,  cupcakes and playing Just Dance 3 on the Wii!

The years are really flying by and I find myself wishing they would SLOW DOWN!! Sophie is growing up SO FAST! She is very intecllectual and absorbs so much information...especially when you think she is not paying attention! This year she has discovered her LOVE for reading and I am so grateful for that. She has also discovered OUTERSPACE! Really, her goal is to become an astronaut or at least work for NASA someday... the planets in our solar system facinate her and if you have a question or want to learn something new, just ask Sophie and she will tell you. Sophie is also VERY athletic, she gets many compliments from her PE Teacher and as a result is used to demonstrate techniques in front of her entire class!

Sophie,
We LOVE you!! And are blessed to have you in our family! Daddy and I still talk about your birth and how you are our BIGGEST BABY yet...9lbs!! You were a week overdue and so we waited anxiously for you to make your entrance into our family! Thank you for your tender spirit!
