Okay, I know .....it seems as though I ran away from my blog.....and I know that it seems like things are ALWAYS crazy, but lately, they have been even crazier!!!!! Somedays I feel like I can't catch up, let alone catch my breath! Seeming it has been so long.....I'll give you a recap on all the kiddos, and what has been going on!
Richard Well, Richard has been pretty bored with basketball season in it's off time right now! He loves to be active and is looking forward to November 30th, when his practices start up again! And that's right, you guessed who his coach will be....JR. *surprise, surprise* Games will begin in January, and we are looking forward to another successful season! Richard has been doing awesome in school, and is now the President of the student coucil at school! We are sooooo proud, it was a very exciting , yet nerve racking time for us all, but we couldnt be happier! He is in charge of the canned food drive at school for Thanksgiving. They are collecting canned non perishable items to put together baskets for people who aren't able to provide for their families during this time! What an amzazing thing to witness your children serving others, and truly love what they are doing! He puts his whole heart into it!
Ryan Ryan has been a very busy little man lately! He has been also doing amazing in school, and is the vice president of the student council! Thats right, both of the Holland boys in charge!!!! He was sooo excited about being a part of the student council, and is really enjoying himself. On top of keeping his grades up, and student council, he is also preparing for his black belt test. His test is on December 12th, and Im an emotional wreck over the whole thing!!!! He is practicing with his instructor SIX days a week right now! He is mainly doing lots of cardio, and fine-tuning his forms....his instructor expects nothing but perfection, and we back her up! I am inspired by him every time I see how hard he is working at it. He is determined and is pushed daily to work even harder. Sometimes I watch him in awe, and thank the Lord that he has so much endurance....it is a gift!
Emily Emily*the princess* is doing FANTASTIC in school right now! She is supposed to be in 1st grade, but spends the majority of her day with a 2nd grade class! She loves it in both classrooms, and is truly loving school. She is making more and more friends, and seems so comfortable this year. When Im at the school volunteering (which is ALOT) , people always stop me to compliment me on her, and how smart she is! Emily will also be starting another basketball season in Div.1 again. Although she isnt as excited as Richard is about it, she truly enjoys playing. We saw so much progress last year when she played, and we are eager to see the season ahead! Sometimes I have to stop and pinch myself, at how truly blessed our family is! Our children are wonderful, and we couldnt be any prouder!
As for us, we are doing as best as we can keeping up with the craziness. Jr. and I were blessed, and went away to Laguna Beach overnight last weekend! We really needed some alone time to re-connect and rest before the holidays are here, and our schedules get even busier. It was an amazing weekend, and we had a great time! After being home for 5 minutes and hearing the kids argue, doing the laundry, cleaning the house, cutting all of the boys's hair..Jr.'s too..., and getting ready for the week ahead, I was sooooo ready to go back!!!! This week we have all taken a turn feeling under the weather, so we are just trying to rest(hahahahaha)!
Im truly sorry it took me this long to take the time and catch everyone up on what has been going on with The Holland's.....It may be a crazy life, but it's our life!!!!!
