so 11 mos later......

My new years resolution ( I know it's early get over it)...to set myself calendar reminders to update at least monthly....every two months at the most.


Family update time:

Andy started Kindergarten and after a month of having daily communication with his teacher (we love you Mrs. Sam) about his little ....quirks, we are down to incident reports only and thank god those are getting few and far between. He loves playing with his friends at school and being on the "big kid" side at daycare. He did phenomenal at soccer and was one of the best players on his team. He relishes his role as puppetmaster of the Kanik 5.

Joey loves 2nd grade. He continues to excel with numbers and has maintained his blatant disregard for english & writing. Joey also had a blast playing soccer. His team went undefeated the first half of the season and then 2-3 in the second half after being moved up to division 1.

*Side note* the kids of Fair Oaks must be getting coached by former MLS stars. They are spiking their water too....if you live in Fair Oaks you should have your water tested for HGH.

Haley is loving Junior High. She is making lots of new friends and is growing into the attitude driven diva we all knew she could be. (Aimee - HA HA HA HA HA HA HA - just wait!) I have heard these junior high years are the worst it gets, please god let it be true! She still loves singing and writing.

Paul has been kicking ass and taking names at work and because of that was given a promotion. I am super proud of him and know he will rock it! He continues to deny his aging and still plays flag football and softball 6 months out of the year. He coached Andy's U6 soccer team and after the first couple practices realized it is like hearding cats...

And now for numero uno ME! I also got a promotion of sorts, I moved from file intake to processing at Genworth. I love my new position and all the challenges it brings me. Other than chauferring to various sporting endevors for everyone I haven't been up to a whole lot. I am still doing PTC for Oakview although I am no longer on the board (heh heh dodged that bullet this year) I also joined our schools site council. I am trying to go to the gym as much as possible and now that we don't have soccer three times a week that should be alot easier.

thats the news for now. another post coming soon about our trip to Seattle to see Paul's family for thanksgiving and the two 13 hour car rides that were necessary for said trip....
