Didi Darlin'

Didi got to choose any sport she wanted.  Since we haven't yet seen the practicality her choice of fencing, we agreed volleyball would be a great choice.  She loved her first season.  The audience cheered every time the ball made it over the (lowered) net, and Didi had some great serves for points.  Their young team even won a few games.

GO OREOS!



Didi is definitely an artist in the making.  She really enjoyed her drawing class at a real art school.  This was her favorite project.




Marimba!  Just as her brother Shark did last year, Didi got to participate in the 4th grade Marimba band.  Her piano skills made her one of the band's "most valuable players" and landed her a bass part, helping to keep the band's rhythm and tempo in check : ).

This is just a cute picture of Didi and something we thought was really funny--"Fresh picked Rainbows", being sold at the Holiday Market where she played in her Marimba concert. 


 Didi has had a very busy Fall, full of music (marimba, piano, and she sings in the ward choir now with her mom), a team sport for her first time (volleyball), honing her artistic abilities in a drawing class, and not to mention her being busy excelling at school--she was just selected to be in the TAG program ("Talented and Gifted") due to her reading skills being in the 98th percentile for her age group.  Go, Didi!  You're doing GREAT!

Way to go Didi! I wish I would have played Volleyball. I was just reading in my journal the other day about when Didi was 3 and she jumped off of the diving board into my arms! I thought she was so brave! And she still is!!!
