 I found a new program today. It is called Khan Academy. My friend’s mom sent the link to this program to my mom. My brother, Connor, has been using this program, but it is the first time that I ever tried it. The program has YouTube lessons on different subjects. I created the letter H using computer code. I spent one hour, and I learned that I can create shapes using code. I felt that it took me longer than an hour. I had to start over once because our computer suddenly said that it wasn’t connected to the internet. I felt frustrated, but proud that I was able to learn computer code.

 I’ve been also learning Morse code. I read about Morse code in a Science book, and I looked it up on the internet. I want to learn more about coding and different codes. No one can read codes except for the people who learn. When I took my Morse code to taekwondo, I wrote Hi and the other students didn’t know what it said.

Our neighbor brought us a stamping kit today. I like to draw and do other art projects, and we can use the stamp kit sometime soon. Mom bought us stained glass ornaments to paint and to put on the Christmas tree. We are very busy every day.

Last weekend we went skiing for the first time this season. I picked it up again very quickly. There weren’t a lot of ski hills open yet because there isn’t enough snow. We didn’t stay that long. We are going skiing again this weekend. Going fast feels like flying.

The puppies have grown a lot. When I go in the hot-tub room, the puppies chase me. They jump on me and want to play. The puppies do not stay in their whelping box anymore because they have crates. The puppies will be going to their homes soon. Yankee and Frisco leave last because they are flying to California. We will all miss our puppies.
