It's been a while

Whew it has been a while since I posted last.  Summer has flown by; we had two hockey tournaments, which they took first place in both.  Two dragon boat races, which we took first place in one and second place in the second race.  Kristin turned another year older, she is now 5.  It is hard to believe how time has gone. 

We have eased back into fall, school has started, Mattias is in second grade and Kristin is in kindergarten.  They love their classes and Kristin is making many new friends.  Kristin just brought home her weekly homework this week and Mattias has been doing weekly home work since he started school.  Now I get to juggle two kids’ homework at night, so far it is going ok, but it is only the first week, we will see.

 They are both playing soccer.  This year Mattias is in the U8 division, this is a boy’s only division.  Kristin is playing in the U6 division and she is playing in a coed team.  Mattias has improved so much over last year in soccer.  He is really enjoying playing.  Kristin is also doing well for her first time playing.  She is very fast runner to catch up to the other team.

 

Mattias is also in his first year of the Jr. Hawks Ice hockey.  He is completing his second weekend of hockey and so right now we are doing double duty, Soccer & Ice Hockey.  Hockey is every weekend for an hour each day, and he will play in one tournament Thanksgiving weekend.

 

Dru is working at Lowes still.  He is playing roller hockey and has gotten on a team he really enjoys playing on.  It is good to see him happy again playing hockey a sport that he loves.  He has been having trouble with his foot lately, he went to a foot specialist and he found out he has a bad case of plantar fasciitis.  He now has special cream we put on his foot daily and we bought him a sturdier pair of shoes, which seems to be working for now.

As for me, I am still trucking away working full time with Parks, playing cheer mom for both my children and their activities, helping in the kids class rooms, going on field trips and I have taken on a new big responsibility as CO-Chair for the Llewellyn School Auction this year.  This is becoming my big project of the year and will last until April 6, 2013.  Somewhere in there I am still trying to find time for myself and Dru.

 

What’s next might you say, well I am working on making the kids costumes this year, we will see if they turn out.  Mattias’ will be a lot easier than Kristin’s.  Mattias wants to be a Zombie Hockey player and Kristin wants to be a Princess, surprise surprise.  My goal is to not wait three months before the next post.  We will see, life is crazy busy, but it all seems to work out.
