It's Back to the Grind!

Okay, so I wont make any excuses this time as to why I have not updated our blog!I was under the impression that once the kids went back to school, Id have soooo much free time on my hands......yeah right!!!!!! School started last week, and the kids are adjusting beautifully! They all got wonderful teachers this year, and even Emily is eager every morning for school! They are all enjoying themselves! I was a little concerned about the princess(last year we had some separation anxiety issues), but this year, she is the big first grader, and so far no tears! The boys are in 5th grade this year!!! It is almost unbearable to think that next year I will be dropping them off at Jr. High! They are becoming so grown up, and maturing each day....we are truly proud of them. The summer basketball season came to a close on Saturday, and we ended it with a bang! Emily's team ended the season with 7 wins and only 1 loss! Richards team ended their season with the same stats, 7-1! It was so much fun, and although most of our Saturdays were spent down at the gym....we were bummed to have it come to an end! We had a pizza party for both teams after the games on Saturday, and coach(a.k.a. my hubby) announced that he WILL be coaching again during the next season! SURPRISE SURPRISE sorry honey, but every season you say that you are going to take a season off....and well, it's never happened!!!! The kids were obviously excited and we are hoping that we get some players to come back....we had great teams! Meanwhile Ryan has been keeping up his tae-kwon-do three days a week, and is preparing for his black belt test in December....which is right around the corner! His strength and endurance is amazing! He says he wants to join cross-country next year at Jr. high...the kid loves to run!!!! As for Jr. and I.....well we have both been under a lot of stress with our jobs lately, but thank the Lord everyday that we have one! We know that it will get better, but have been depending on one another to keep eachother focused!!!Well, I better head off to bed...5:00 comes too soon! For some resaon my blog is not letting me put pictures up....I'll keep trying!
