Over a Year?

I can't believe its been over a year since my last post. I've been slacking. And busy. But mostly just slacking. Lets see....

David is now in 2nd grade. We pulled him out of public school and put him in a private school in Sparta. He loves it, and is doing very well. He's learning to write in cursive and has words on his spelling lists that I can't believe are on a 2nd grader's spelling list. He consistently brings home spelling tests with A+s on them. David is also taking piano lessons, and is doing fairly well. He just needs to learn to count a steady beat while he plays. He'll be going to church camp this summer for the first time with his cousin, Owen, in Minnesota. He's very excited about it, and a little nervous, too.

Nathaniel is in his 2nd year of pre-kindergarten. Because he has an August birthday, he turned 5 about 3 weeks before he would have started kindergarten. At the end of last year, his pre-k teachers, Richard & I made the decision to have him repeat pre-k - he just wasn't ready for kindergarten; he would have ended up repeating kindergarten. His teachers now assure me that he's ready for Kindergarten. He'll have David's Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Fawcett, who is awesome! :) Nathaniel is our stubborn one, the one most like Richard. He wants to do things his way, or no way, and isn't afraid to butt heads with anyone, anyone except Daddy, that is. He loves to play outside, and keeps asking if its spring, even though just a couple of days ago we got 6 inches of snow.

I started working out in late December with a gal from church, and we've been pretty regular about it. We've been going to Snap Fitness, and I've really enjoyed it, although when I'm there I usually don't want to be there. I've also been playing piano and singing on the church worship team, which I really enjoy doing.

Richard has been keeping busy at Ft. McCoy, instructing for Blue Force Tracker. He's getting ready to head down to San Antonio for an Army rifle competition; he's very excited (although you'd never know it), this could open a lot of doors for him.

Well. A brief synopsis of the past year. I'll try to be a bit more regular from now on. Ta-ta for now!
