Life has been busy for us. Who knew that me teaching 2 days a week would add so much more complexity to our entire week? I enjoy teaching, however, and the girls enjoy their preschool experience. B is trying hard to be a helper in my class, though he often gets revved up with the other boys and their wild play and must be calmed down again.

The rainy weather we had a for a few days was a wonderful change from the heat. Still have the humidity, but at least during the rain the bugs are not out so badly.

B started Cub Scouts as a Tiger and Paul is the Cub Master for our local group. I agreed to be assistant den leader for B's pack and was able to then say no to being a den leader. We have so much going on, and I have such a hard time saying no! Funny how people who hardly know me can pick up on that so easily. So I am sure I will enjoy assisting and appreciate not having to handle a den on my own. Paul is looking forward to learning more about Scouts as he was not one as a boy.

B also started up another season of T-ball. We are only on week 2 of practice, but he is hitting the ball much better than last season. Still need to work on catching and paying attention, but that comes with time and experience...right?

The girls started ballet last night. They did beautifully! Both girls simply love ballet, along with any characters (like Angelina Ballerina or Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses) that do ballet. Both girls are a bit rusty since they have not done this since Reno, but both were able to easily follow directions and move their bodies accordingly. Too cute to watch! They were thrilled! After counting down the days to this first meeting, they were so excited that O made up her own ballet song to sing to us all in the car as we drove there! I am grateful for the opportunity this offers them.

We miss everyone very much and I took time today to update our blog here with lots of pictures so you can see what we have been up to the past two months. God's blessings!
