Skating Lessons






















All three kids are taking skating lessons with our local homeschool group. Aria has quickly taken to being able to stand with ease on her skates, which has been especially surprising seeing as last year she only went out on them once. Elias and Ben have been enjoying road hockey with their friends this year and have recently become interested in watching the game, it has been a natural extention for them to practice some drills in their class. The program is run completely by volunteers from the group, as are most of the programs we do. Those teaching the lessons are their friends, adults they feel comfortable with but more than that, they enjoy their company, enthusiastically share parts of their life with and look forward to being together. I am thankful for these wonderful volunteers/friends that the program runs....but more that I am able to sit in the warm room nursing and watching!
