Okay, now that I'm typing my first blog, I'm wondering, "Why am I doing this?".....Well, I thought I'd jump in and give it a try and use this as a "digital" way of journaling because I'm so bad at journaling the traditional way.
I know my entries will be a lot over the summer, and then wind down to a trickle during the school year, but I'll do my best!
Kyla and Noah are doing the Knox College for Kids this week and next. They are having a great time. I think it is a great break for all of us as we were all getting a bit grumbly bumbly a week after school was out.
Noah is playing baseball this season. He is getting a little pitching time in. He wishes he could have more, but needs to practice for more consistency. He's in a bit of a batting slump right now. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of prescription glasses to see if that will help. We hope!
Brody (aka "Cimarron") is really flexing his independence muscles this summer. I will try to stay positive in my posts on this little guy, but he wears out me out to the core! Why do we call him Cimarron? Well, Noah learned about the Cimarron River in Third Grade this year. When his teacher was explaining that Cimarron
meant "wild and raging", Noah piped in, "that sounds like my little brother". Ever since, his teacher and I have joked about "Little Cimmy". It's rather fitting! He has been the biggest challenge at baseball games. Jamie is helping coach Noah's team, which is great, but leaves me to chase the very active and strong-willed child. Last night's game was a big failure for little Cimmy. We both ended up in the van in tears in the bottom of the 4th inning.
Jamie is plugging away at the railroad and enjoys his job and the fun co-workers that make the shift so entertaining. The other night, they had "Hawaiian shirt Night" in honor of a co-worker who wears nothing buy Hawaiian shirts...maybe this guy is trying to channel his inner Tom Selleck.
I guess that is all for me now. I have much to do today. Jamie is home and awake today which means I have an ambitious to do list which includes a stop by the library to see if the book 123 Magic available, painting lockers for the boys room (in a SUH-Weet) orange, still trying to perfect my Lofthouse Cookie clone recipe, stopping by school to "escape" and make some copies, sew Kyla's new pointe shoes, drive to dance, and possibly hosting some nieces and nephews for the evening...........
