This is the Schneider-Farris Family's Blog. Keep up with what we are doing by logging into this site regularly! (The reason this site is called "Tragedy and Triumph" is that when I first founded this site, my husband, Dan, had been in a horrible accident, and he recovered. His recovery was a miracle! Go back to the 2005 archives to read our story.)

Joel completed 9th grade and Rebekah finished 8th grade!

Joel just finished 9th grade. He is homeschooled, so he has worked at his own pace, and finished his 9th grade work a bit early.

Rebekah just finished 8th grade and will begin the 9th grade homeschool curriculum soon! She is only 12, so this is quite an accomplishment!

Go kids!

Annabelle Featured on InLineSkating.About.com!


Today, Annabelle and I played outside. We took some great photos of her playing in Landroller skates. And...guess what? Carlesa Williams, About.com's Inline Skating Guide, featured her! Isn't that cool!

Rebekah's Pair Skating Is Coming Along!!

Here are some videos of Rebekah's pair skating today with Dalilah's son Larry Ibarra. She is really improving quickly. Larry thinks she'll be able to do throw triples!

Does anyone know of a good pair skating partner? (Rebekah is still ice dancing with Joel, but needs a bigger and stronger partner for pairs.)
