Lunch: Lydia loves leftovers.

Afternoon: Finishing up school and chores, then playing with the neighbors.

7pm Time for bed. She enjoys lots of reading time before falling asleep.

Fun facts:
 - Lydia took a homeschool dance class. Each month they learned new dances, picked out new costumes form the costume closet at the studio, and performed at a local nursing home.
- Fun baking was a favorite activity when friends came over.
- She took to her new bike easily. Lydia has had more big falls than any of the others, and is quickest to dust herself off, put a bandaid on, and go again!
- Her CC class was all girls- so fun!
