When we moved to Virginia last August, 2015, we needed to get settled and use to our new home, state, city, school . . . before we began to add in extracurricular activities that we had once done in Knoxville. The girls had been involved in many activities, yet in our new home we decided to take a break and add things back in very slowly. The girls tried some new activities through their school's "Bee Program" as well as some activities they had never done in Knoxville such as golf and horse back riding lessons.
Now that we have lived here for one year and have adjusted to our new life, the girls have started asking if they can do some of the things that they were involved in when we lived in Knoxville. They have also added new activities such as theater and film classes. Both girls have begun taking piano lessons again and Sophie has begun her sixth year of ballet classes.
It is fun to see what truly interests the girls now instead of their original involvement being led by what I decided to enroll them in to take. Emma-Caroline will be taking horse back ridding lessons though the fall as well as taking piano and doing theater. Sophie will take golf lessons and do dance and piano. They will also be involved in after school activities. The most important thing is that they are enjoying their activities and making lots of new friends.
