Now for a girls update

I feel like I have not blogged forever....

Not sure what updates everyone has on Liz but here it goes. First thing is she loves Junior high! Second thing she has decided not to color her hair purple. (OK I am feeling like we are doing some decent parenting here) She has made 1st chair trombone in Casper Youth Orchestra, 1st chair in Junior high band, and has now been given the lead childs part in the upcoming Christmas church production. (When I say production I mean production...this is a huge community event for the holidays) Congratulations baby we are so proud of all you do!!!!


Mikaela is also succeeding this year. She is still only a white belt in Karate but has learned how to say she has had to much! She is very successful in school and loves to read. She however does not sleep at night if she has unfinished homework (I think I am in trouble here). Gymnastics is coming along still, I think she was a little sad the other day when her team had their first meet and she did not get to go. She will start swim lessons in later Oct.

Xenia is doing very well and excelling in her studies. Looks like she will start the high school cross country program in late Dec. or Jan. otherwise there has not been many activities for her to get involved with. She has made several friends and seems to enjoy her time with the two girls. Currently she has started volunteering her time at the nursing home (helping with bingo). The last time she went one of the ladies wanted to come home with her:( All is well and we are loving having her here as part of our family!

As for me it is off to a real working schedule next week. I will start the last of my eight week rotations. This will the schedules off and the entire family will fall into a whirlwind but as usual with prayer and effort we will make it through!

Love to all
Upcoming events:
Oct 9th - Liz band concert (school)
November - 22 CYO concert
Dec. 3-7 The Glory of Christmas production.
