Been Awhile

It's been quite a while since we've (I've) posted a story. It's not that we haven't had new and funny things happen; It's just that I haven't been very religious about documenting them in key strokes.

Since the last post, we've been going in all different directions. Carson was playing league soccer with several Yugoslavian and Spanish kids for several weeks. They take their soccer seriously so this was the first time Carson played using goalies and referees calling everything. He really excelled at this.....the coaches put Carson at forward however he HATES when the other team scores so he would naturally migrate back a little far to protect the goal. That means that Carson was tired after each game, which is good for him.

Carson is now playing on a YMCA soccer team with a few of his friends from Adams School. They played their first two games in late March/early April so they could rank the teams and make the games more competitive. Carson scored two goals in his first game and 4 goals in the second game. They played their third game last week where he scored two goals; One was an outstanding kick from the right corner where he only had a small window to get it in. He is really doing well.

Carson also plays flag football and is attending a football clinic where they teach him different parts of the game and get the kids ready for the fall. He is signed up for baseball already (back in February) but hasn't had a practice or game yet.....that is the next thing to look forward to.

Hannah is feisty as ever. We call her our 'project manager' and that is an understatement. She has a great memory and likes to point out all the things that we need to do or forgot to do. Case in point: Carson went through his homework a little fast last week. Tara mentioned to Carson that if his homework isn't up to snuff, his teacher will have a problem with it. Hannah made an obvious mental note of this because when Tara picked Carson up that day, Hannah was in the back seat asking her brother, 'Carson, what did your teacher say about your homework?'

Hannah is currently doing a program called 'Dance, Dance, Dance' through her daycare. She looks forward to her Dance day and LOVES music. She also LOVES to annoy her brother so breaking up scrums in the living room over some dumb toy that neither child would ever really want to play with is a daily occurrence.

Tara and I are still doing the same thing.....work, cleaning the house, trying to talk the kids into taking baths and going to bed at a reasonable hour, getting them to their birthday parties, practices, games, etc.

It's been busy around here..........
