February 2023

February was filled with many special days!

Isaac made 2nd chair for the Texas Private Schools Music Association All-Region Honor Band for the second year in a row!  Flower Mound CDA had the greatest number of students of all the participating schools that auditioned and made the honor bands!  Isaac loved his time practicing with the guest conductor, and we were so happy to hear them play on Saturday afternoon.

All-Region is held at The Greenhill School in Dallas, and the kids loved finding the peacocks on campus!

Josiah's friend from school came to his 8:00 a.m. basketball game one Saturday!  Josiah was so very proud!

Donuts with Dad for Logic School students at school

I coordinated Josiah's class Valentine party, and I also was able to pop over to Emma's party a few times since their classes are next door to each other.

February was also filled with many sweet, small moments....

"cleaning" with Titus - the vacuum, Swiffer at Mom-o's, and mop are some of his favorites!

enjoying dinner - good until the last drop!

Emma loves to wear costumes on home days, and this day she also wanted a "crown braid."

Of course, she was cleaning in her gown, too!
