Hi there! We're busy as ever, how about you?
Here's what we've been up to:
Jason- He likes his new school and the kids and the teachers, thank goodness!! He thought he wanted to be in band. Tried the saxophone for a few weeks but quickly figured out that it'd be way too much work, and it was getting in the way of his free time. He still enjoys Karate, although it's hard to fit it into the schedule now that school's started. He says he wants to play soccer again, maybe next year at school. He still asks lots of questions and starts many sentences with "what if...." And, he LOVES his mommy!
Meagan-She too likes the new school and is making new friends. She also joined band and tried the flute. She lasted 4 weeks. She may decide to try again in a few years, but she's still young and she wants to do a little bit of everything. She loves soccer. She did Karate for a while, but I think she's getting tired of it. She still talks about going back to gym or cheer. Most of all, she likes her music and watching Disney Channel.
Brett- just got the second shot in his back to "burn" the nerves, although it's not really burning them b/c it's not permanent. We hope this does the trick, but he'll be sore for a few days now. He still coaches Meagan's soccer team as well as referee soccer. He never even played soccer as a kid, and now he knows everything about it!
Heather- I went on an awesome silent retreat last weekend from Thursday night to Sunday. Refreshing! I received many graces during that silent time. Besides that, it's just work, chauffer, wash clothes, sleep. Exciting, huh? I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Did you know we got a puppy? He's a "chaweenie". His name is Lucky aka Taco Bell dog. He's cute... good thing he's got that going for him! 'Cause he's getting to be an aggrevating little animal. Tootie''s still hanging in there... she's 14 years old! She eats, sleeps and poops. And she was not at all amused when we brought home Lucky. She's still not happy about it. What were we thinking, anyway??
OH! Kids have International Bazaar in a few weeks at School. Meagan needs things from Japan for her project, as well as an outfit. If you have something, please call me. Jason's class is doing Brazil. He's got to do some research on the religion, but I don't think he actually has to do a project on his own. Anway, let us know if you have something you'd be willing for them to use.
It's finally gotten down to the 60's here! So nice. And you know, Christmas will be here before you know it.
Take care
