Catching Up

Where to begin?  Sad to say but when I went to type in the title of this post, it popped up as a common one.  Yikes!  It's been a LONG time since I posted and while there are a ton of things that have happened in that time, I am going to just update the most recent. 

AJ has been playing basketball and getting really good.  She is more aggressive about shooting and in her game on Mon scored 3 times!  Tomorrow is her last game and then she goes on to volleyball starting Mon.  I have said I would coach her team (what was I thinking?) so we'll see how that goes. She was freethrow champ again this year but will be unable to compete at the next competition.

AD just finished up a play that some of the elementary students were working on.  It was called the "Smartest Woman in the Kingdom."  She had a pretty major role in it and while we were worried about stage fright for her, she did great!

AT is still plugging along through preschool and daycare.  We've had some regression in areas in the last month or so, but in talking with friends, it sounds like it is pretty normal.  Glad to hear someone's normal in this family!

Mom came up and we attended my Beta group's annual Crafter's Getaway.  We made super cute pouches (thanks to my friend MK for inspiring us!), shower curtains, a valance, and did some shopping.  I am so close to being done with my Master's that I had to spend some time working on that and Mom had to head home early.  Can't wait to see her again in a week or so!  My new job is going great; no complaints there.  Well, not true.  I miss being able to hit the alarm for half an hour or so.  I am SO NOT a morning person, but I am adjusting.  So are the kids.

T is finishing up jr high girls basketball today.  Hard to believe he will have AJ on his team next year.  Where did that time go?  He starts baseball in a week and a half.  However, they will probably be working on the field non-stop until then. 

We are grand-puppy parents again.  Jake fathered a litter of 7 puppies and they will be available soon to adopt.  They are so stinking cute and big and chubby.  Lots of yellows and a couple of black ones.  Let me know if you are interested ;-)

That's about what I know.  Here's to catching up, but not slowing down!  Woo hoo.

Enjoy your day!
