It’s Been a While!

Well, as the title suggests, it’s been a while since we last posted. A lot has happened since then!  What follows is a very brief attempt to get caught up.

Blake has played softball for her school where she is a standout as a hitter and pitcher. She also sang a solo for Grandparents Day at a school concert; a part of Proud Mary originally sung by Tina Turner.  She had dressed up and wore a wig for the part, she was really excited to go through the tryout process and get the part.

 

Blake has also been singing in the praise teams for both churches she attends. She continues to excel in school and even brought home algebra homework last week. She was one of 4 or 5 students in her math class that routinely get her in class assignments turned in early and gets very good grades on it. The teacher decided they needed some advanced work to do. Blake was excited at first! Then she realized that it’s hard to remember the golden rule (what you do to one side of the equation you have to do to the other). She’s very smart so she’ll catch on quickly.

Alli has continued and excelled in her gymnastics class. She was asked to join the “advanced” class, but she isn’t old enough. She has to be four, but when she turns, they want to bump her up!

Alli’s school work has also been excellent. She has learned a few songs, like “Tootie Ta” and “Hello, How Are You?” She has also learned the Pledge of Allegiance,what the fall season is (which she will correct you and say Autumn), pumpkins, and is always excited to perform her weekly job. These jobs range from line leader (her favorite) to Table Setter to Flag Holder to Door Holder!

Some big news for Jenny and I are that we are having another baby! Jenny is due at the end of April. Most everybody wants a boy but I’ll be happy for healthy and ten fingers and ten toes, and if I played the odds… we will end up with another girl! We’ll post pictures of the ultrasound when we get another one in a couple of months.

There will be more posts very soon… as soon as we get some more pictures uploaded!
