Hey all! Sorry for keeping this site empty. The past few months have been very busy and hectic. There has been a lot of new things that have happened. I am now in high school going to Copper Hills High School. I'm on the varsity swim team and am loving it. I recently got my driving permit and have about six logged hours of driving. I am also taking two A.P. classes and two Honors classes, so I don't have a lot of time on my hands.
Spencer is now taking karate classes and is quickly improving. He still tries to wrestle me to the ground but my strength still beats his cool techniques, so he ends up on the ground instead. Don't you just love sibling rivalry? He is two merit badges and a project away from getting his Eagle. He is so close, but says that it will all be done by his birthday.
Kaylee is having so much fun with her dancing. Today she performed at the Festival of Trees. She started taking dance about three months ago and is catching on really fast. In my oppinion, she was one of the best in her class to perform. She is starting to babysit our neighbors for short amounts of time while their mom cuts hair.
Jonathan is a little bookworm. Even after many times of being told, he still reads without telling anyone so they can time him. He tried karate but didn't like it very much so he only advanced one belt. He also got to the top level of swim lessons and decided to take a break before passing the level.
Sarah is our Little Miss Talk-a-Lot. She is very excited to start pre-school next year. She has learned all of her letters and sounds. She loves going over to the neighbors house every Wednesday while Mom works. She calls it her "nap day". She likes to play with her dolls in her spare time. That is, after she bugs mom to go play with her friends.
Nathan is so mobile its amazing. He gets into the weirdest places. The other day, after the other kids had taken all the blankets out of the closet and taken them into Mom's room, I found him on the bottom shelf (not the floor) lay ing there like he was going to sleep there. I closed the door and hoped that he would go to sleep but to no avail he started to bang on the door wanting out. He also climbs every where. His favorite activity though, is to look at pictues of Dad with Mom.
Mom has been doing better the past few weeks. From what she says, the last two Sundays have been great! (no tears) I guess. She is always doing something and when she isn't we try to get her out of the house to go do something 'fun'. She is still as stubborn as ever and doesn't like to be 'special' but I know that she needs the love. So if any of you see her or are thinking about her give her a call or just say "Hi", and talk with her. I know she will appreciate it.
I want to say thanks to all of those who have helped us the last six months and four days. I know that it was out of love and that each and everyone of you love us. Thank you all again. Until my next post, Talk to you L8er. Ducky
