Boring!

I think it's safe to say that this blog of mine has officially become boring.  I've been so busy.  In my case, a busy life leads to a boring blog.  A whole month without a post?  Boring!  Not that my life or my posts are super exciting, but you know what I mean.  

I miss writing.  I want to do it more.  

So, here's an "update" post.  

We are currently enjoying the last few days of sports hiatus.  Football is over.  The 8U Junior Trojans didn't have the best year.  They were 2 and 6.  Most of the boys are looking forward to next year, though.  I know Jordan is.  He starts wrestling next week.  Something new.  His football coach, who just happens to be the wrestling coach, thinks it'll be good for him.  I admit that I'm a little apprehensive.  

School is going really well for both boys.  Shaun is at grade level for everything except math.  I'm so proud of him!  He works so hard and he's dealing with some issues that make schoolwork even harder for him.  And he still presses on.  He tries so hard.  And he's proud of himself, too.  He graduated from physical therapy yesterday.  Funny thing-  he's been working with the same therapist that he had when he was a baby.  She's the sweetest lady, it was great to get to know her again.  She said he's met all of his goals and that our time together is over for now.  It was a happy and a sad day!  Occupational therapy is going great, too.  He's learning a lot and gaining confidence.  

Jordan is loving his new school.  The "adjustment" period seems to be over and he's doing really well.  He loves his teacher.  She has that special way of tough-love about her.  She knows when to be stern and when to let the boys be boys.  Truly an answered prayer for Jordan's first teacher.

The boys are still singing in their church choirs.  Shaun is also learning how to run sound.  He's following in his dad's footsteps.  I love that Chris is teaching him to do this.  

Violet is scared.  Ha ha! She's scared of everything lately.  This includes loud noises, anything Halloween related (including her own cute pig costume), bugs, pulling the plug in the bathtub, etc, etc, etc.  When she's frightened, she'll quickly let everyone know by saying, "that scared me!".  This will pass and one day and we'll laugh about it when she's older.  Honestly, we're already laughing about it a little bit now. 

I'm still trying to lose weight.  Not seeing the scale move, but my clothes are loose and people are saying I'm smaller.  Frustrating, but at least I'm making some progress.  

Chris is still working hard.  He coached Jordan's football team and is training Shaun to run sound at church.  He's been getting more and more ministry opportunities.  Which is another reason our life is so busy!

More later.  For real.
