So, yes, it has been OVER a year since my last post! I am really trying to understand how these other mommies find the time to post so diligently!
I guess, that is another shortfall of my mothering skills?
I can't remeber what happened yesterday, nevermind the last year of my life.
So, here is short version (for posterity, I guess).
We still live in Sparta, Tn....I know, WOW, two years in one place! Reed had a fantastic Kindergarten year and a fantastic teacher. He is growing into a fine young man, still BOUNDING WITH ENDLESS ENERGY! He is almost through his first grade year, and yes, another amazing teacher. We are so lucky for him to have such amazing women guiding him through his daily struggles with being still and quiet. He has made the all A or A/B Honor roll each six weeks. So, we really can't complain to much about his incesent talking! He played soccer (he was actually good), baseball (he is not actually good...if I am being honest).
Tate is 4, and he has even more energy than Reed....and HE NEVER STOPS TALKING....EVER! He is truly sweet child, but will drive you crazy. He started pre-school this year, leaving a most wonderful babysitter, Ms.Jan, but he is doing well. He played (read picked the grass, and climbed trees) this year. I am not sure if sports will be his forte? However, who can judge a 4 y/o's atheltic ability. He adores Reed, and vica versa. For brothers, they have their squables, but all in all they absolutley LOVE each other.
Tracy is still coaching football, and for those who know him, LOVING every minute of it. His team did well, and we are hoping with 19 returning upperclassman we should do even better this year. We live, breath, eat football around here, but none of us would have it any other way!
As for me, I am still teaching at the local middle school. I really do love my job, as well. I am currently teaching an elective STEM. It has been so much fun to watch the students get excited about learning. It makes "working" so bearable! I am still teaching spin classes and am looking forward to the summer so that I can spend more time hanging with the kiddos.
Well, for a year that was pretty darn the short version!
I will try to post more....I have a heck of a friend, Terri, she is an awesome blogger! I look forward to her posts. She is so elequont with her words, her posts are always touching and reflective. I envy her ability to love being a mommy so much! Yes, I said that. If I could, I would make myself more like her. She makes it all look so effortless and FUN at the same time. It is really amazing to be around her!
Off to cook Easter dinner.......
BTW I miss you Jay....today more than any other day of the year....we buried you 12 years ago today. The time has passed by so fast, but today the reminder is bearing down on me. I find it hard to enjoy today, it is suppose to be a happy day, celebrating the resurrection of Christ. All I can ever think of is...I watched them put you in the ground today in that pine box....and that twinge of pain will never leave me! I love you....I miss you....I look forward to the day I can see you again
