September

So ... I am doing a little better. At least this is within a couple of weeks - rather than months from my original posts.

To catch up ... the kids have finally started school *yes*. I say that now - but a couple of months of running them around will probably bring on a different response. Regardless, Taylor is a sophomore and is playing volleyball. She made the varsity team this year - so is really excited with that opportunity. Watching her play is a lot of fun and you cannot help but get wrapped up in the whole thing.

Trey is a 7th grader and playing his first year of school sports. It is a lot different having him playing organized sports with a coach and everything. Although he hasn't had a first game yet - he has been practicing as QB so will see how that turns out. He did spend some time over the summer working out his skillz with Uncle Al in Louisiana - so will see how his arm ends up looking this year.

Brielle is in the 5th grade and has finally made it to the top of the elementary food chain. This year she is surrounded by friends - so her social networking is growing and growing.

Brit is doing her internship for Dr. Seal in Cathlamet. From everything she has said it is going well and she is learning a lot of stuff that they don't teach you in college. She is enjoying being single (which we love) and seems to have a lot of friends that she stays close to.

Troy and I just keep working ... and working ... and working. With football starting you can plan on finding us at home most Sunday's in front of the television. Kind of antsy about the possibility of getting tickets to a few Seahawks games - but then again, we just found the motorhome of our dreams at the RV show in Portland. Have had a lot of conversations lately about getting a motorhome so that we can take some good old fashioned road trips - !

With any luck at all - I will spend some time this weekend getting photos posted to this and to facebook. Staying up-to-date in an online world is not easy. I would like to thank Troy's cousin ALI - without her blogging inspiration I do not know if I could even attempt this!
