Sunday News

Well, I haven't updated lately, but mostly due to a lack of anything interesting happening. We have been busy, but it has just been much of the same. However, here it goes...

Ryan starts school tomorrow and is very excited. I hope he stays as enthusiastic and then I will be happy as well. His teacher came here to our house for a home visit and he really seems to like her. On that same note and even better, she really seems to like him. That sounds a little silly since she is a teacher, but there are many adults who, by no fault of their own just don't like Ryan. I can pick those people out almost as soon as we meet them. Ryan has also been really into football lately. He runs around the house throwing it up at himself and being his own commentator.

Colin has been saying quite a few more words now. Although he says them only from time to time instead of constantly. He is getting so hefty with his big belly that a lot of his clothes are starting not to fit. I guess it is about time to move up a size. He still loves water. We went to a birthday party yesterday where they had a pool and sprinkler and he wouldn't hardly get out of the water, not even for cake! I wish now that I would have taken my camera over there.

Matt is finishing up his this term of school an dso he is happy aboput that. If we can find a babysitter we are going to be taking a class together this next term. It will be a Spanish class, this way we can practice together. Matt has been taking plenty of days off of work lately, mostly due to his frustration with everything and everyone there. He gets mad and he takes leave so he won't have to be there. Matt is playing flag football and has his first scrimmage today. Then we are going out to eat a day early for his birthday. He has his birthday off, so he will be going golfing and also taking Ryan to school for his first day.

I have been busy taking care of too many kids and trying to do other things as well. I got up early yesterday and went to tent sale they had for all kinds of toys. I have finished shopping for Ryan and now just need to get him a couple of small things. I got Colin a couple of things too, but even though he doesn't have much I probably won't get him too much more. We have so many toys already. After the tent sale I went to a yard sale they had on base and got tons of clothes for Colin. Matt and I have an anniversary coming up, so we have a babysitter for half of the day. We are going to go play tennis, so snorkling, go out to eat, and then go to the movies. I am very excited and I just hope the weather is nice.

Anyway, I have to head to grocery store for my weekly visit. I hope all is well with all of you and I hope to hear from you soon.

Note: Believe it or not Ryan loves tacos now and actually ate most of what was on his plate in that picture above.
