Joshua is always so creative. Here he is holding a model he built of the Tsunami that resulted from the eruption of the volcano Krakatoa. He's fascinated by weather: hurricaines, tornadoes, floods,....volcanoes, tsunamis, earthquakes and generally anything having to do with science. The model shows a rolling wave headed to the shore. Josh designed and did the entire thing, except cutting out the boards.
Last year he made an Incan bridge and a volcano found on Mars.
I had some good news yesterday. At my Weight Watchers weigh in I lost 2.6 lbs. over the holiday........that brings my total weight loss past 10 lbs!! It really hasn't been terribly hard even though Thanksgiving is a big eating day. I was thrilled!! It's a great diet because I can eat anything I want....but I'm learning to eat better.
More good news.....Jon learned today he was selected for ALL-STATE band. It will be in Seattle the last week in March. His lips will be sore for sure. He's doing pit Orchestra for the school musical....South Pacific started rehearsals this week......and he just got his Solo and Ensemble music. He's doing a solo and probably several ensembles like last year. Luckily he won't get the All State music until January.

I LOVE Joshua's Tsunami model! He has been fixated with weather ever since he was a wee little boy! Is it a project for a science class?

Yes, I got a new camera last week. I wanted to post a pic to see how it looks.
Jon sent in an audition tape for state. Over 2,000 auditions were sent in for band and choir.

Aunt Shelly, I am waiting for new and exciting things to be posted. I hope that you are doing good! I saw that there was bad weather up your way. Were you hit as well? Over here they just said that Washington was getting bad weather and that power was knocked out all over the place, but they didn't mention where it was. I just wanted to make sure you were okay!!
