robotics

It feels so good to see you being a KID and just enjoying the moment. This year, you joined the Robotics club at your school. It was so nice to see you fully immerse yourself into something, you're usually so reserved so it was a nice change to see how you nerded out about something. Your team worked so hard this year, practicing 3-4 days a week and it paid off!

At your first competition, (where you competed with teams from all over the area) your team won 2nd place in Core Values and 2nd place in Robot Design.
You guys even advanced to Regionals!

At the FIRST LEGO League East Area Championship - City Tournament you guys won 1st Place for Robot Programming, and y'all got the first-ever school trophy for Robotics!

I'm so proud of you, baby! Not because you guys won, but because this it's so refreshing to just see you be a KID and not putting the entire weight of the world on your shoulders. I can't wait to see what you guys do this upcoming year!

Happy 6th Birthday, Ellie! I can't believe how fast these 6 years have gone by! But, lemme tell you...they have NOT been boring! You are a mini hurricane and always the life of the party! 
This year you started your official countdown on February 1st and every day said how excited you were for your birthday. You wanted a class party, so Ash and I brought pizza and cupcakes to share with all your friends.
