New things!

What is new around here? Nothing and tons!

Shea has started Pre-Kinder and has to wear uniform each day - so cute. He loves his class and was excited to see all of his friends back after the long summer. He is taking guitar lessons and playing soccer. We have only had 2 weeks of both - so I will fill in more details later. Shea is still obsessed with pirated and wants his room redecorated to reflect this obsession!

Mattie is at a new day-care. She is staying with a good friend of our's who runs an in-home day care. Our little miss is a little hot tempered and has started biting people. We all dodge whenever she opens her mouth but some of the other babies haven't figure this out yet! She now thinks the dog and cat are hilarious. This is a major turn around as I thought she may not be an animal lover. Mattie has started walking and is finally getting some more teeth in. She has quite a little personality on her in is quite funny. We also love that she goes to sleep easliy each night - we learned what NOT to do after the 1st.

I am having a great year at my school. I am teaching 4th grade Math and Science. I never really enjoyed 4th in the past but I am really loving the change this year. I have two great classes. Still struggling with balancing everything but doing a much better job of it so far!

Chris is good. Football season has started so he is camped out all the time checking on his Fantasy Football stats. He is also coaching Shea's soccer team which he is handling quite well even though he isn't sure about it!

The kitchen has been a boil on my butt! This was supposed to be done the week we were in New Jersey. Six weeks later - no kitchen. I have cabinets but nothing is working yet. I got tired of washing dishes in the bath tub so I switched to paper and plastic. I think even the strongest environmentalists would agree with this decision! Things are finally moving forward so hopefully it will get finished soom - knock on wood!
