Life In General

I guess it is time for an update. My biggest news is that I am no longer doing Steve's medical transcription. The clinic is trying to save money so my job got cut. I'm not really sad about it. I've been feeling a little overwhelmed lately any way, and it's really nice to have those 15 hours back to myself each week. I've had a lot of fun doing all the little projects around my house that I couldn't seem to get done.

Alex got an honorable mention in the science fair at the end of January. He didn't get to go on, but he's never won an award for a science project before so he's proud. Alex's soccer team got first place in their indoor league. He also made the school soccer team a few weeks ago. He's going to be pretty busy playing on two teams this spring. (which also means I will be busier)



Kobe won first place in the reflections contest for photography. He did a photo collage of a soccer ball. (Trace, my kids are still very inspired by your guitar!) Kobe's team took third place in their futsal league. That, plus their great performance in Las Vegas, earned them the right to move up a division for spring.



Tia did her first outdoor track meet this week. I couldn't go watch, but she told me she did very well. I'll get to the next one and have pictures later. She is a very fast starter. Her time in the 200 meter is just 1 second away from the state qualifying time. She's hoping to get to go this year.

Brooklyn had her first gymnastics meet last week. She wants me to post the video of her floor routine, but I haven't learned how to do that. I'll brag more about the meet when I figure it out.

I'm getting excited for better weather....gardening, bike rides, walks, visits on the front lawn with neighbors and friends...it all sounds so nice right now.
