As it turns out. I can not post every day...or even every month.
The house is moving along but no we are not quite finished yet. Things are going really well and we are sooo close to the finish line that I can feel it. The new room got carpet installed today and will be trimmed out this weekend. We will make the big shift either this weekend or early next week. One thing is for sure...I still have some painting to do.
The boys are doing great.
Christian just finished a fantastic season of football. He loved it. He was struggling playing for coaches with kids on the team. I can say this b/c we coach our kids. However, he got very frustrated and was feeling like he didn't want to play football. (a sport he truly loves) He got the opportunity to play for the school. He was thankful to be able to go out there work hard and earn his spot based on his own talent. He was one of the two team captains, the starting quarterback and earned a spot starting at defense as well. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for him and he is back to being passionate about the game. The lost the last game of the season and he was so upset he cried. He didn't even cry when the All Star Team took 3rd...One thing is for sure, he really laid his heart out there.
Jonah, my main man, is working so hard this year. Middle School has been such a positive for him and has really made him focus and be accountable to his grades. Kudos to him for his super hard work. He has also been playing football. He is so fun to watch out there. However, the best thing that happened to Jonah is he joined a competitive hip hop team. He is having a ball and getting excited about tearing it up at the school dances. Everywhere we go people know Jonah and it is purely because whereever he goes he spreads love, joy and enthusiasm...Gotta love that kid.
Max- I have to say my favorite part of the day is when he gives me smooches or cuddles in my lap. He is nine but he is still his mommy's little guy. He started playing soccer this year and has really enjoyed it. Soccer is not my favorite sport but I love watching him play and have a great time supporting him. Max has gotten a job as a dog sitter for the neighbor across the street. He loves animals and occasionally gets to babysit. Today he went to Sarahs house and sat down with their dog, 20 minutes goes by and he is still petting the dog. Sarah said "Max do you wanna at least take your backpack off?" It makes me wonder if our busy family should get the dogwhisperer his own pet. I don't know about that...
Anyway, life is good. I am blessed and I am excited for the new year. I can't wait to start living in my house instead of working on it....Who knows relaxation may be in my future.....
