Update at Long Last

We are all fine.  Sorry for the long delay on updates. Sam’s VMA/HVA numbers came back today VMA: 8.8 (pretty good) and HVA 11.9 (little high).  VMA number made us very happy today. 

The boys have been busy with school, soccer, being fanatic football fans and life in general.  The DeLongs had extra Padre tickets this past Saturday and gave us some great seats.  The boys all brought their gloves and wore their Padre shirts.  Yesterday they wanted to go to the park and play catch and Charlie for the past two days has carried a baseball with him everywhere he goes.  We are a sports crazy house these days.  

Sam is doing well in school and soccer. He almost scored a goal this past weekend.   There hasn’t been any drama around here lately aside from the normal everyday life squabbles between Sam, Andy and sometimes Charlie- though I did set a pan on fire trying to broil fish while Neil was at the hospital last night and scared the bejayzus of Sam, Andy and myself.  Sam and Andy reinacted it several times and Neil all about it when he came home.  Who knows what the third grade and kindergarten will hear today at school. Charlie is in swimming lessons twice a week but now on his second  set of lessons still won’t put his face in the water.   He enjoys himself at lessons though as he does at most things.

I promise to update more frequently.  Yikes on the stock market today.  Funny how numbers can make the world of difference in an outlook.  Happily our most important numbers looked good today.  Hope everyone else can find a number to be happy about too.

    Don’t worry too much about the fire incident…teachers only believe about half of the stories kids tell!

    You are right about what numbers are important…. Thank you for the reminder and perspective. So glad to hear Sam is doing well!

    Now how did they get on the jumbotron? … must be those excited faces !
    do I see the Pirates on the scoreboard also?
    looks like the Bucs actually came to play, because they actually have hits on the board! Shocking for us Pirate fans !
    Glad the boys enjoyed themselves… it looks like Neil had the most fun of all !!! 😉
    Charlie is gorgeous… I could just squeeze him !
    Love, Colleen
