Let's get this party started!
Things have changed quite a bit for my crew in the last couple of months. Let's keep things simple and just say the kids and I are living in a new house and we are doing just peachy!
The holidays were a great time! Mom was home from New York and we all got to spend a lot of time together! We were sad to say goodbye, but we always cherish our time we do get.
The kids are growing like weeds. They are all getting so tall. I'm sure it won't be long before Keenan passes me up.
Keenan turned 10 in December....double digits...yikes. He's doing exceptionally well in school! He absolutely loves history and is doing great in Mr. Darda's class. Keenan played flag football this fall. He seemed to really enjoy it. I'm thinking next year he may want to play on the Cheifs team, a local traveling team. We will see.
Shailyn just turned 8 this last Monday. She was so excited to be going back to school as her birthday present....lol. She is starting to get settled down a little bit in class, which has been quite the challenge this year. I got a note from her teacher one day saying Shailyn had been "glaring" at the teacher. And if looks could kill....beware. She is getting ready to start her first season of basketball on Monday. I'll be sure to let you all know how that goes.
And then there is Brenna Mae. She started in the "big" school this year. My last "first day of school". She is loving school, but isn't challenged quite enough. She's a smart cookie and is ahead of a lot of the kids in her class. We try to keep her challenged at home though. She is reading like a whiz and practices math with the older two. She and my friend Melissa's son Caedyn are pretty tight! I added a cute pic of them at the Christmas program. Uncle Jimmy about had a cow....lol.
As for me, I'm trying to stay busy and I'm starting to do all the things I've wanted to do....and then some. I've just started coaching a team for the traveling volleyball club. We are just getting started, and it is going to be exciting! Shailyn has also talked me into being a Girl Scouts leader for her Brownie Troop. So I'm having to go through all kinds of training and meetings for that! Rock on! We start selling cookies on January 17th...hint, hint! lol. I'm still working at Starkes and having a great time and constantly learning! School is also on my schedule. Still cracking away at that. I swear, I'm going to be a lifetime student....blah! It will all pay off in the end...
Well that's enough for now. I'll try to hit the blogging once a week. Wish me luck on that...I'll need it!
