busyness...

Well, we've been busy lately. Soccer game scheduling took over this past weekend. We had 2 girls over Saturday afternoon (after having 2 soccer practices - 1 for Madison and 1 for Aric) so that their parenst could work on the game schedule. They finally called us after 3 hours working on it and said "HELP"! We went over there about 4 and I didn't come home til 10 and Derek by 11. And it still wasn't done!! Spent some time on it Sunday trying to work out some conflicts with fields and coaches, and got it figured out. Now today the schedule has been all moved around. I sure hope we/they get it worked out soon.

Derek is in Wisconsin this week. he comes back on Friday. Then we have soccer practice for Aric then decide if we are going to leave for Raleigh then or on Saturday morning. We are going up there to help build Matt a bigger deck than the one on the back of his house.

busyness, busyness, busyness....

updating again....

Maybe with this new school year, I can keep this blog thing going better.

Yeah right....


Well, the girls have started school for the year. They started last Wednesday. Dehlia is in 2nd grade and Madison is in 5th grade!!! OMG!!! They are getting too big! I think I am going to have to think about utilizing those cinderblocks that are sitting around outside of the house to hold these children down from growing!

Aric starts preschool after Labor Day. His last year of preschool before Kindergarten. I am sure that there will be many tears shed when graduation time comes around in May.

Soccer season is upon us also. Derek is coaching 2 1/2 teams this season. Head coaching Aric's U6 team, Assistant Coach for Dehlia's U8 team and Head Coach for Madison's U10 team. The calendar is filling up fast as practices are being arranged and games will be put on there soon!!

I am looking forward to having a little bit of downtime while Aric and the girls are all in school after Labor Day. Maybe I can get a little bit more done on my quilt top that I have been working on since before we moved. I have the blocks all assembled, but have to put on the border still. Hope to get to that in the VERY near future.

Derek is getting ready to travel some. Ofcourse he couldn't travel during the summer when the kids were out of school....has to be while they are in. Oh well. Thought about asking mom and dad to come visit for a couple days, but I don't know if it would work. We'll see.

Well, I hope to be back sooner rather than later. Only time will tell.....
