Hey, I'm posting!

OK, I know, it's been a while. We've been a little busy. School has started and we are back into a routine, sort of. Before school started, we were able to go to the Ft. Worth Zoo with Uncles John and Justin, Aunt Amanda and all the girl cousins, except for Esther who was home with her mom trying to keep well before school started. We also have a new (used) van. It is a 2008 model and the boys are so much quieter during all our travels now that it has a drop down DVD player which also has adaptors to play video games in, AND is complete with wireless headphones, way cool! Austin has started in band and absolutely loves it. Cameron awoke this morning to the sounds of the trombone! I need to find my ear plugs.......
Austin has also been taking private lessons from minor league professional baseball players/coaches, in order to learn a bit more about the hitting and pitching game. He will play fall ball this fall with the little league he played with in the spring, which consists of teams, but very casual - just having fun and keeping up their skills. He likes 6th grade much better than 5th, so he has told me all this week. We'll see if that enthusiasm continues....
And finally, we have a new roommate, Jessica, my sister, has moved in with us and is trying to find a job. She helps me out trememdously with the boys which is great - instant babysitter and housekeeping helper! Gotta run, band practice is nearing....
