Sorry - been so long

Hi everyone -
Sorry it has been so long since my last update. We have been keeping busy with school and baseball. The kids have had 2 games each. Emily is loving softball and has so much excitement - she wants to have games everyday! Jacob is having fun but we may run into an issue as he has een playing ball for several years and understands how it is supposed to go and is playing with a lot of kids - some of which haven't played or seen baseball. He has a tendancy to try to make all of the plays instead of throwing it to the correct person. So we will see how it goes this season. Andrew pitched the first 2 innings of his second game and struck out 5 batters and no runs scored. Unfortunately they ended up losing by 1 one after 2 1/2 hours of game playing in extreme heat - Yikes we were very hot and we were in the shade.

I went to parent teacher conferences on Tuesday and all 3 of them seem to be adjusting well and making friends and doing well in their work. There are some things that Emily and Jacob hadn't done yet but we are working on those things. The 3 little guys didn't have school Monday or Tuesday so we walked and got lunch down the street and got stuck in the rain and came home soaked - as soon as the rain starts you cannot find a cab at all! We were carrying groceries and got all wet.

Our pool is closed at our complex for 5 months it will be great when the new pool is done but it has taken almost 2 weeks just to build the fence to block off the construction. We got our membership to the American Club last week so we will be able to go swim there. They also have a 4 lane bowling alley, a library, a teen room, kids room, 5 restaurants and a gym and the list goes on. I was in line at the little shop and met someone whose child also goes to the American School so I grabbed a bagel with her. It will be great to be able to go hang out there and meet new people.

Ryan just got back from Australia last night on a business trip to look at cotton. We are heading there Friday night to spend a week with Dave and Suzy and tour around Sydney.
Well it is time to get the kids off of the bus.

I will definitly get pictures up here after Spring Break - I will put up baseball pics and vacation pictures when we get back.
