January 20-26 It was a big week!

How many snow days did we have this week? 3 and 1/2!

After recently finishing Ken Follets, Pilars of the Earth I was anxious to read World Without End, another 900+ page book, and the snow days made that possible. It was a blissful week of sleeping in and reading. Chloe's cheer and volleyball teams didn't practice and we were free to "stay in" instead of running to and fro. A welcome break.

Thursday, the one day we had school (turned out to be 1/2 day due to another onslaught of snow) Chloe' had a very important orthodonic appointment. After 13 months in braces Chloe's has a new beautiful smile!

Chloe' loves her new freedom and has enjoyed a bag of candy given to her when she got her braces off with included bubble gum and sticky candy. She also headed straight for the movies where she enjoyed popcorn! Yeah!

In addition, Chloe's cheer sqaud competed at Winterfest Cheer Competition with a first and second place finish! It was a long day of performances but Johns Creek did really well overall. All the girls are looking forward to the Bluegrass State Games in Lexington next week where they took first place overall last year!

Chloe' with some of her friends (Kaci, Kayla, Kinsey) and her daddy (before yesterdays game)...

Noah spent Saturday evening serving on Pike Central's Varsity Court. He looked very handsome. Ten boys and ten girls were chosen by the faculty and voted on by their peers to serve on Varisty Court. It is an honor at Pike Central to make it to the court because of the list of requirements each student must meet in refernce to attendance, GPA, and lack of discipline referrals.

His "first love" from library school, Lindsey Sacratini, was crowned queen and they were both all smiles afterwards...

Lindsey and Noah have known each other since they were two years old when he gave her a Valentine and her first box of heart shaped candy (15 years ago!).

Pictured here is Noah and Sarah Stanley, one of Noah bff's since preschool.

Also, Noah and one of his best friends, Hannah. Noah and Hannah share a very competitive nature. They are too funny. They attend the same church, play PC golf, and are both Booth Scholars.

This is Noah and the young lady he escorted, Mia.

All the members of the Varsity Court looked beautiful.
