Hi all! We have been a busy bunch, but haven't been able to share the way I'd like. My laptop, where I stored all our photos and did my stuff, had a part go out on it - hard drive is intact, but with labor, it's a several hundred dollar repair, one we just haven't committed to doing. This causes some down sides in our home - we're down to one computer for four people who all use it, this one computer is much older - and slower - than the laptop, and I have hundreds of photos on my camera that have nowhere to go!
It's been a crazy first few months of school here.
Eli had his first season of outdoor soccer, which he loved. He lucked out and had no rainy, muddy games. He's now playing basketball, and is having a good time with that too. He's doing great at school, too!
Hannah is all about volleyball and friends. She recently completed a successful season of fall volleyball, and will soon be getting back to practice for winter club ball. She loves it, and it's so fun to watch her teams play! She's quite the social butterfly, too. She is also doing great in school.
Kevin is in his first year as an associate principal at the high school. This new role has been quite a challenge, and he's working really hard with his team to continually improve things there. My Duck fan of a husband has atended nearly every Beaver game - thanks to his brother or our friend. We did get to go on a Duck date to an Oregon game, and had so much fun! Also, he's back to college and high school officiating.
I am busy with volunteering in Eli's class, his school's parent-teacher club, a bit with church, and doing occasional work in the school district. I am also in charge of all the non-glamorous mom duties - so between us all, we are on the go alot!
So...that was our quick update - photo-less, I'm sorry to say! Maybe Santa will leave me a computer in my stocking?? Maybe I should make a bigger stocking, just in case! :)
Thursday Thanks Tank #112
