Hi Guys!
Hi Guys!
Hope you are well. Andy was just complaining last night that he hadn't heard from you in awhile. I asked if he'd written you and he said no that was my job - he send pictures, I write letters. I said well no wonder you haven't written - I haven't written and it's probably my turn!!!
So I thought I'd take a minute and type as fast as I can and tell you what's up here in hopes that you'll write your son!!!
Everybody is staying extremely busy. AJ came home with all A's and 1 B+ (in Gym class of all things). We are very proud of him. He is doing very well with the Tuba, playing basketball and seems to maybe have a candle lit under him about scouts - we'll see. He is a little behind in scouts but has a list and seems to care about getting caught up with the other kids. Football season put him behind.
Dallas is still doing choir and basketball. His team has had a rough go of it this time around. They haven't won a game yet. After being on a football team that won all but the final round. He seems to just enjoy playing and getting a treat.
Bryce is just busy being Bryce. Yesterday I went out side to find him screaming - pull the lever, pull the lever. He was pushing with all his little boy might on the back of our neighbor's station wagon trying to keep if from rolling off their driveway. I guess the little guys had gotten in and pulled it out of gear. Needless to say he got to come in and "think" about why we shouldn't play in cars and especially why we shouldn't get behind them and stop them when we only weigh 60 or 70 lbs!
He will always keep us guessing!
Katie is a stubborn little sole. Sweet but stubborn. She had a little temper fit and hit and kicked Holly. She got her first spanking -which she wasn't too happy about. We told her she was punished until she apologized. Took the sweet thing 50 minutes to say Sorry Holly and kiss her. She hasn't been mean to her again thank goodness.
Holly loves to be held and all the time. She has done pretty well coming to work. She has started to kind of hold her head up and look around. She has a "colicy" streak some evenings. One lasted 1 hr 45 minutes Tuesday night. I was frazzled but somehow we both survived.
My work has absolutely slammed me lately - our work load has increased considerably - looks like it started in October going back over the old monthly reports. I am having a hard time keeping up even with all the help my coworkers are giving me. This week we had 2 1/2 hours of court on Tuesday night and a jury trial tonight. So much for maternity leave!
Andy is keeping busy with sports. He has high school games on Wednesday and College Friday and Saturday. He saved his last bail bond - kept saying someone he knew was going to need it. They did and it was a big one - so we have a little more money coming in before that dries up. It may work out but it'll probably be a month or so before it is all fixed. So for now there will be no more bail bonds. Andy got a little raise with the radio station so that is something!
Well time is running out so I better run.
