Finally an update.....

Okay, it's been over 5 months since I last blogged... I know... anyone who was even watching this blog has long since left so let's see if we can't get everyone updated.

Hannah and Seth have been enjoying summer. Soccer finally ended and we can all breathe a little easier. Hannah scored her first goal this year and so as promised I had to do the cabbage patch right then and there. In the poring rain no less with a parka on! How weird and deranged I must have looked soaking wet with a silly proud mom grin on my face dancing in the rain. All the while yelling woohoo. I am surprised my daughter even wanted to be seen with me after that much less get in the car. Oh, wait, she didn't get in the car with me.... She rode home with Dad. Nonetheless, she was bursting with pride over her goal and ready to take on the professional soccer world.

By the way, Seth scored his first goal this year too. How it happened I will still never know. Especially when he spent more time following around the coach telling him he was hot and doing somersaults on the field. But at least he was not picking flowers like the girls were. Dad was proud as can be about that. We thoroughly enjoyed the comical innocence of 4 and 5 year old playing soccer.

Vacation was fabulous this year! We actually were able to skip the fireworks season and vacation in June! The kids had a blast in the pools and even went crabbing at night on the beach. Hannah caught sand crabs and fish and even picked them up. Although it took some cajoling on my part to convince Hannah they did not bite. Seth wanted to love them and squeeze them and call them my squishy... For those of you not well versed in kids talk that is from Little Nemo.....

Now as summer break is winding down the kids are trying to squeeze all the fun they can get in before Hannah goes off to school. Seth is practically living in his clubhouse. There is nothing like eating macaroni and cheese and applesauce in the great outdoors! While Hannah is mastering the art of dizziness on the circle swing under our big oak tree.

Another first this summer is Hannah is starting her own blog. I am using it as a teaching tool. The do's and don'ts of Internet information. We will email everyone the address and I will attach it to my blog so you can easily find. You can also click on the follow blog link and it will keep you informed of new posts and such.

Hope this post catches you up a bit. I will try to be more faithful at updating.
