So, Not sure why I am such an Abysmally bad blogger, but alas, I am and there is no denying it.
So, what is currently going on in our lives.
Last week marked the beggining of 4th grade for our house. I can't believe that 4th grade is already here. Its insane. Things are going well so far thanks in large part to a very understanding teacher and the luck of the draw in having a close friend of the family doing her high school community service in the same classroom 1-2 days of the week. Definatly makes for a comfortable, understanding work environment.
Alex is also very busy with learning Martial Arts. He has been taking classes since April of 2007 and in July of this year earned the rank of Jr. Blackbelt. He was very excited and proud of his accomplishment as is the rest of his family. Jason and I also take classes at the school but I am taking a break til finances sort themselves out and Jason is taking a break til his schedule sorts itself out. Hopefully both of us can get back soon as we really enjoy both the classes and the people we take them with.
On the Cub Scout front things have been slow. Alex took the last year off following the loss of an adult scout leader he was VERY close with. It was hard for all of us and especially hard for Alex who considered Mel one of his close friends. That being said we have tried very hard to help him understand that Mel wouldnt want his death to be the reason Alex gave up scoutng and he will be starting back next week. Hopefully he remembers how much he enjoys it.
Also taking up his time currently is a new hobby. Fourth graders are given the oppurtunity to take one year of music lessons at school to see how they like it. Alex has chosen to learn the violin and is very excited about the prospect. He has had one class already and is still head over heels in love with the idea so I take that as a very good sign of things to come. He learns things fast, remembers them and devotes himself. Hopefully the violin will be the same as other things in his life. He will love it.
Some big changes have happend lately in our family as well. The biggest and most important being Jason is no longer a manager at Pizza Hut. Having changed jobs after 8 years at Pizza Hut to take a Managers position with McDonalds. The new job offers more hours, more pay and a better work enviroment. He will miss the people he was close with but knows how to keep in touch. He wont miss the poor hours, low pay and drama. Neither will I.
Now, some pictures.
