Before our vacation, Gabrielle and I were taking ice skating lessons at a nearby ice rink. Our lessons were at an outdoor rink, and some of the lessons were really cold! I have just started working on some basic jumps and footwork. The lessons have been a lot of fun. We have a few more lessons through the month of April.
My Boy Scout Troop held our Court of Honor at which I was given the role of Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. This is the second-ranked junior leader. I now have to do my absolute best to attend every meeting and camping trip because if the Senior Patrol Leader ever needs help, I need to be ready to help him. I also need to attend monthly meetings to help plan upcoming activities for our troop. It is a big responsibility, but it's going to be lots of fun!
Make sure to check out the photos of our Florida trip and Iceskating on the Photo Page.

This is a free website that offers interactive stories, movies and games for kids just beginning to read. It has four levels: from learning letter sounds, through early reading and in to intermediate and advanced reading. Gabrielle really enjoyed playing and working on all the levels.

Gabrielle has started reading the Magic Tree House books and she loves them! She is reading them all in order and is on number 12 now. The other series that she really likes are the My Secret Unicorn books. She has read the first four already.
Gabrielle loved our vacation in Florida. She loves to play on the beach. She also really improved her swimming. She finally started swimming with her head underwater! We were all very proud of her.
