Update

As you can tell, life around here must be busy, because I haven't made any posts lately!

Yes, life is busy!

Just a few glimpses into the past few weeks:

Dan has been helping coach a 5th/6th grade boys youth football team several nights a week. Games are on Sunday afternoons. He's enjoying the coaching and the games, although it's a bit crazy during an election year, when he's swamped at work.

Earlier this summer, I tried to sign up Haley and Moriah for the youth sports volleyball league, which starts in September. I must have missed the deadline, because they were put on a waiting list for a team. So, thinking that there was no chance they'd be playing volleyball, they took a risk at trying out soccer for the first time. They're in sixth grade and haven't been on a soccer team before. I saw a sign for the Y soccer program, and Brooke is totally all about soccer right now, so I signed her up for a girls team. Haley and Moriah agreed to sign up for a team, too. We got to the first practice, and they were the only girls - it's a co-ed team! Ahh! Needless to say, they are being really good sports and are enduring the longest six weeks of their lives....never to do soccer again!

However, not Brooke. Last week, her soccer coach pulled her to the side afterwards and encouraged her to go attend the practices for the travelling soccer team. She is floating on air. She's so excited. How this will affect our lives, I am waiting to see...

Back to volleyball...so the night before the first practice, I got a call from the coordinator, and there were two openings on a volleyball team. Yes, we joined. They really like the sport - waaaayyyy better than soccer! But...2nd practice, and Moriah jammed her index finger. It's still swollen and a bit purpler, but getting better.

So we have all these things going on in our world....and if you look at the previous post, I did manage to get a good start on our kitchen. I'm working on cabinets now, slowly but surely.

School's going well. The baby is growing incredibly fast and becoming more and more of a toddler every day.

Speaking of school and babies....must get started now.
