Update...

We are chugging along in our school work. The boys will be taking standardized tests in April. You might be wondering if the school district requires this testing. The answer is no :) Every other year I have the boys take the same test the public schoolers take. The results help me to gauge where they are ahead and areas we need to work on improving.

Joshua has always enjoyed science but he really loves his microscope work this year. As a former science teacher I taught him the proper way to carry and focus our microscope. He does a great job :) That makes this science mama happy!
I am still training hard for the coming summer. At this point I will be competing in 2- 5K's, 2 or 3 triathlons (one being Olympic distance), a 30 mile bike ride with Aaron, 100 mile bike ride (my first century!), Bix 7, and a half marathon. I am super excited! This week I have been focusing on my swim. I challenged myself to swim a total of 10 miles in 4 days. I just finished day 3 and I am at 7.5 miles :) I will definitely surpass my goal!
