family updates

Just wanted to switch gears and give a brief update on the crew.

We are all well, although DH is about to be on the bench again. This means he has no client after his current job. We are waiting to see what the next opportunity will be. The kids are fighting off colds, so there are a lot of chapped lips and noses here.
DD has started TAe Kwon Do. She has been taking classes for about 6weeks now. She is the smallest one in her class, but oh so feisty. I had to explain to her that she is not to use or threaten to use her skills on someone outside of practice unless she is in danger. Normal stuff for kids. They are so excited about their new found hobby that they want to try it out and see if it works.

The school has started a day class for grownups. I am beyond excited. The first day, I woke up hours early. The kids are adjusting to amusing themselves during the practice time. There are toys, videos and books at this very family friendly school.

Noah watches all of this and tries to run on the mat occasionally. He also mimics his sister when she is stretching or jumping. It's very cute!

I feel compelled to mention the dog. He is, as usual, terribly neglected. We do walk and feed him, most of the time with regularity. He still sleeps on the bed when there is room. But the days of toys and chewies are mostly gone. Poor doggy!

And our really big excitement is that we will go on a cruise in a few weeks. We have never been on a vacation of this magnitude before. We are SO excited. It has been booked for sometime. We'll be joined by several members of DH's family. Have I mentioned we are excited? My big hope is that the children like the kid's club so that we can leave them there several times over the week. I'm pretty sure I can hear the spa and hot tubs calling my name from here!

Enough click clack from me!
It's time to make lunch.
