Clay's Lego Racer won a trophy for Best Of Show! Hopefully it's fast too! Turner's was up against some fast competition and placed 4th. He got a trophy last year though so now he & Clay both have trophies for their PWD Car designs.

Update-both cars came in a consistent 4th place. That's better than last place, but we still didn't do so hot in the speed catagory. Oh well, there's always next year.

It's Pinewood Derby Time! We got the Auburn Flyer & the Lego Racer.

Lanie's sick & Mommy's out getting medicine so...

I decided to paint the little Princess's fingernails. She was a real trooper and was totally into it! She never moved and was very proud when her not-so-skilled-at-painting-fingernails-daddy got finished. She ran into the den hollering "Look Turner and Bubba, I got fingernails!" It's fun having a little girl who is so girly:)

Two of a kind...in that they both have curly hair they hate having brushed & get into everything!

Turner's got a great "fan base" already!

We have this EXTREMELY enthusiastic, musically-gifted friend Christophe Jackson who introduced us to this group called the Birmingham Boys Choir as we were talking to him about Turner's love of singing and trying to find out a way to encourage him to develop it as one of his many gifts. Turner sings in the bathroom, sings while eating, while jumping on the trampoline, playing...he just likes to sing. He also likes playing the piano for which he has been taking lessons over the past year and half, but is currently on a short hiatus. So as we talked about the BBC, we thought it may be something Turner would enjoy and told him about it. He decided it was something he wanted to look into so we made an appointment for him to meet the director and audition. This took place over the Christmas holiday and we found out this week that he was accepted! He will be joining the choir this summer! We are really proud of him for taking the first step towards making this happen and hope that it turns out to be a life-changing experience for him. The choir does lots of cool things from local concerts to tours in places as far away as Japan! As for the picture above, upon finding out that he was accepted, we posted it on Facebook and got an overwhelming response. For that we are thankful! It's really great to know there are so many folks willing to offer words of support and encouragement, helping Turner see what a truly great opportunity he has before him. Thanks!
