1 More Day! Whoo Hoo! We're so excited about getting a 2 week break! We'll have our own little family Christmas early this year since Cameron will be with his dad on Christmas. The boys are excited about getting to open presents this Saturday morning when Santa comes! We leave for Arkansas on Sunday and return the following Sunday. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. We had some recent ice this week, but no school closings. Our district does not close for weather unless there's 6 feet of snow or something like that! Over 200 wrecks reported in Dallas but our district didn't close! Some surrounding districts closed or opened late, not ours!

Not much news worthy to report, just thought I'd post something because it's been a month since I posted. So, for the norm, I needed to post!

Austin is doing well in school, makng A's and loving trombone. The area director of band for the district told me that Austin was a natural trombone player and that he was made to play the trombone! I said his piano background must have helped, she said, yes, but even if he hadn't had the piano, he woud still have a natural talent to play. As I write this, he is at the Dalas Stars Hockey game that I am watching on TV. The Stars are ahead 4-3
Cameron is learning to write his name and doing pretty good, is it too early to get worried about dyslexia???? haha Can't seem to shake his runny nose, probably allergies. I guess having a dog doesn't help matters, especially when the dog sleeps with ya!

Well, we hope everyone has a restful and very blessed holiday season. I probably won't post again until next year! I am planning to have a NYE party at my house, so that should be fun!
Merry Christmas!

About Me

Austin is my oldest son. He loves most sports with a ball (especially baseball and football), used to take taekwondo, used to play the piano (when forced to practice), now plays the trombone,and is a very good chess player. I could go on and on here, but needless to say, I'm pretty proud of all his accomplishments. If this is what he does now, I can't wait to see what his future holds! My younger son is Cameron. He's 4 going on 30. His life is full of admiring his older brother, trying to be just like him, but also pestering him just as Austin pesters him. Cameron loves to eat and never misses a meal. He is into trains, trucks, just about any vehicle that he can "drive" or push as fast as he can go, likes to watch Little Einsteins, Barney, Spiderman, Stuart Little, and has now joined the Harry Potter club. He is also trying to see how far he can push my buttons. I think that is a normal 4 year old thing, maybe???
