My Week in Review/Weekly Wrap-Up/THMJ- February 13

It has been a couple of weeks since I posted a weekly wrap-up.  Things have been busy here with school, activities and other responsibilities.

Last week, the kids started their .22 rifle program with 4-H.  Kiddo #4 is thinking about joining them tonight!  :-)



Last Saturday was the Father-Daughter dance at our church.


Monday and Tuesday, Kiddos 2, 3 and 4 went to Taekwondo where they are also doing sparring. They are getting really good!  :-)  I have to remember to take some pictures next week!  

On Wednesday, we ventured into the city to learn about a good and holy woman by the name of St. Rita of Cascia.  Her life was a shining example of the love and forgiveness we are called to as Christians.  When her husband was brutally murdered, she convinced her sons to forgive and not avenge his death.  Her sons both died from illness, but she bravely continued in her quest.  She convinved both her husband's family and that of the rival, feuding family to make peace with each other and forgive.  There was also beautiful artwork there, including the one below depicting the Baptism of Jesus.  After our visit, we headed to lunch.





Later that evening, we got to watch the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket live.  I always get goosebumps watching something like that.  We are sending up a satellite to monitor weather patterns and the flares from the sun that could potentially knock out power grids, etc.


On Thursday, we went to the circus!  I will share photos next week.  :-)

Today (Friday), we had our homeschool bowling league.  Tonight will be .22 rifle and tomorrow, Kiddos 1 and 2 are looking forward to a 4-H teen program at a local college.



Hope you all have a wonderful (and warm!) weekend.  It is supposed to be below zero here on Sunday.  Is it spring yet?
