Ducks

Tonight was a busy night - we had this event at KidPak, a chance for parents to have a few hours out while we entertained the kids.  Maddie also had taekwondo tonight, so there was a bit of back-and-forth with dropping her off and picking her up and getting back there with the kids for much of the movie.  It was a busy night, but it was good.  Maddie had a great time at taewondo as always, and then she had fun taking pictures and spending time with the kids and volunteers at KidPak too.  It was a pretty fun night.  We watched the movie "Migration," which of course is all about ducks.  More on ducks towards the end.

Our office is still evolving, the walls painted white and this "life insurance" furniture coming in.  That's been the description thus far - the leftover furniture from the Alpharetta campus is now with us at KidPak. It's our first revamp in twenty years, but it's not exactly exciting.  At all.  But we'll work with it.

It was a quiet day at school.  I picked up Maddie from the car line, and we got home to quickly get going towards the next thing, however we made the mistake of getting hooked on a Stormchaser network, basically a series of links to storm chasers in the Midwest, and wow, there were some storms out there today.

Maddie, Mom and I watched a few of these live, getting caught up with the storm chasers as they captured videos of twisters like the one above.  Intense stuff! 

The weather was much quieter here today.  The night ended with prayers, and reading "From a Certain Point of View," yet another bleak story, this one about Biggs.  We knew it wouldn't end well when we knew it was about Biggs!  We said prayers after that, and it was time for bed - tomorrow is another Team Edge, followed by a supportive appearance at a funeral.

Maddie is wrapping up the year at school, and she's racing against time to get some of her ceramics complete and ready to go.  We'll wrap up this post here with the evolution of a ceramic duck, still a work in progress, but getting closer!  She's enjoying this class a good bit, and we're so glad to see her reaching out and trying some new creative things.
