Mitchell Update

I feel like I have been blogging alot about Ali but not much about Mitch so I thought I would fill everyone in on what he is up to.

Most of you that will read this know about some of the anxiety struggles that Mitch was having about a year ago. I am very happy to report that he is doing sooooooo much better. He hardly asks anymore "is anything bad going to happen: or "am I going to get a disease" though he does once in a while say "i'm not worried but......" and then proceeds to ask some kind of question.

He is having a pretty good time in 4th grade but doesn't like how much homework he now brings home (believe me it is a heck-of-a lot more that he has had in the past). He has made a ton of friends since we have been here and everyday somebody new comes to the door looking for him!!!!Yea!!!!!

Avon Lake doesn't allow kids to play tackle football until they are in 5th grade so he is playing flag football this year which I think he likes more than his dad does but, we did find an indoor baseball league so he will get to keep up with his favorite sport through the winter which we are all excited about. We love to watch him play BASEBALL!!!!!!

Still playing the drums and still hating to practice but he will get to learn to compose music this year and will be in his first recital (he's a little nervous) his teacher also said that sometime in the next year they will hook Mitch up with some other students in the music school and they will help them start a band. Very Cool!!!

I love how Mitch has come out of his shell and become mr. social he is taking new risks everyday but still watchs out for his mom and sister and stays his old sensitive self!!!!

All in all, Mitch is growing up which is fun to watch but sad for me because I want him (and Ali) to stay young forever.

I love you Mitchie!!!!!!!! You're my best guy!!!!!
