Has anybody checked the school web page lately? There are a lot of interesting video clips. I will post a link on the sidebar so I won't keep doing it here...:) The xmas party play is on there. It was so cute. Anyway, the above picture was taken before that last two huge snowstorms. You can only see the snowman's head now the rest of him is buried in snow. This winter has been interesting. I am not complaining at all. It reminds me of winters when I was a kid. Lot's of snow and lots of days below zero for good ice to harden on the lakes. It had been warmer and not as much fun in recent years. I figure if it's going to be cold and bothersome then there better be something to show for it like good ice for skating and enough snow for playing in. In the above pic, left to right from the back: Olivia; Mr. Snowman; Pop Pop (the school teachers dad, all the kids have adopted him as another grandpa); Second row: Elwen; Julian; Aiden; Bottom: Eliza; Kai; Sofie.
The bad, last Wednesday a girl at Cade's school (8th grade) was rushed to the hospital and is now in critical care. She did herself significant harm. Afterwords, (another reason why I despise facebook) some kids at the school got on her page and started leaving nasty comments about what she had done. I don't know why she did what she did, rumors of some bullying have been circulating. Certainly what's going on now supports that. Cade was rather upset. Shocked would be the better word. He had tears in his eyes telling me about it. Another girl who lives here on the island was in the same class and was also stunned. The other mom and I talked about it Friday and what we could do as far as talking things out with our kids. Cade of course had thought back on what he went through seeing his dad try and hang himself. At this point no one knows what the girl at school did but her intent was serious. She is on life support. There was some frank talk about the whole subject. The whole thing is just so sad. To top it off, this morning Cade said he heard that her parents took her off life support this morning and that she passed away. I hope it's just a rumor.
