Brandon is finally feeling a little bit better not 100% yet but at least he is moving!!! He has been SO busy at work and traveling lately and is doing a great job always finishing in the top 1 or 2 in the company each month !!!! He made presidents club for 2007 so we (he and I) will be going to San Diego in 2 weeks all paid for by Barnes!!! Can't wait!!! He is such a hard worker and puts 110% into everything he does!!
Mitch is busy, busy, busy!!! Still working hard at school & staying after 2 days a week to get one on one help from his teacher. He joined the school choir so he also stays after school every Tuesday for choir practice and his teacher told Ali that he has a great singing voice! (we already knew that). Drum lessons still going strong and his teacher says he would like to start working with him for an hour each week instead of 30 minutes, which we have yet to make a decision about but his teacher says as a 9 year old Mitch is playing at a highschool level!!! Woo hoo!
He is playing basketball twice a week and baseball once a week right now but will start more baseball very soon!!
Ali is little miss social as usual. She takes any opportunity she can find to play with friends!! She is doing so well in school and loves it!!! She started piano lessons a few months ago and is doing really well. Her teacher is always impressed at what a fast learner she is and she is already on her 3rd book!!! She is still doing tumbling and will be in a recital soon, which she is very excited about and it looks like now she will be signing up for softball too!!! Her soccer starts back up in April and she is looking forward to being able to play outside and run after the ball. She still talks about gymnastics but we have started that yet. She is pretty much just a happy little girl and wants to stay that way. (she keeps telling me she is never going to grow up because she wants to stay with mommy & daddy forever).!!!
I have been busy taking kids to lessons, working on homework and projects and everything else moms do for kids. I have to say, I have not been keeping up on my household duties very well.(i've never been good at it) although, I did paint a couple bathrooms recently.
I have been getting up at 5:30 most mornings to work out which has been hard but also so great! It's so nice to get that done early and have the rest of the day for whatever needs to be done & I have so much more energy than I have had in the past few months!!! Being the Primary Secretary has addedd a lot to our schedules with me going to numerous meetings and activities which seem to take up a lot of time and also spending a lot of time at the computer typing up announcements,birthday lists and whatever else I am asked to do.
I have been managing to do some piano practicing and have learned a new John Schmidt song that I love & actually Mitch's drum teacher has been having me play with him a little bit at the lessons so i'm learning that too!!! That's about it for me!!
We are doing well and having a good time here in Ohio!! If anyone ever wants to come visit, we would love to have you (you don't even have to pay for a hotel)!!!!!
