We met Teresa and the younger kids at the gym today, but you'll have to wait a touch for any pics.- BUT I HAD to share how much fun it was for us to watch Emma today! She is SO STRONG and graceful it is surprising to behold! It is not just ME "being a Gramma", either - she is being "moved up" past her age level as soon as school is out!
Ethan was there to mostly keep "Gam-puh" out of "trouble" ;-) ! Yes, he DOES "like" me, but is indeed "Grampa's boy"! Up til today he has called Mike "Pah" - SO cute to hear that Mike & I almost "hate" to hear it go! Ethan's joy in life & living is contagious! - He "hippity hops" through his days in a "gallopy", way that just makes you grin!
We were sorry to miss seeing Kelsey & Monique today, but I have to pick up a friend who can't drive at night, to take to a class tonight & would have been too late to maneuver through the renouned "Beaverton traffic". - Kelsey was not home because of her after school German class, something she has wanted to take for quite a while now - WOW! - Kyle will have someone else with whom he can "practice" too! Monique is now playing softball & tells me she mostly enjoys "hitting"! :-) ! I am amazed that Teresa keeps up so well with their assorted schedules, but she also LOVES this sort of thing, like I did/DO! Oh yes! Emma is starting soccor soon, & even Nathan is playing softball again! Talk about BUSY!!
Alas, the latest new guy at the Inn didn't "work out", SIGH, so I am back to FT again & will have to figure out how/what I can see of games/practices, but try I will!
TTFN!

What happened to the new guy?
Sounds like soo much fun. I've been really dragging my feet on jumping back into the "scheduled-ness" of having Jakie in sports, etc., so he hasn't done anything official yet. Can't put it off much longer I'm sure. But man, I like having our weekends free!
Not FT again! Maybe you ought to get on flippin burgers at McD's. Not really - but I know you lve your job - FT just doesn't leave enough time for family! - or those fun get-a-ways you guys enjoy.
For Darc, well lets just say that while his customer service skills were impeccable, he had other highly UNemployable "issues" that surfaced over time, sigh. I felt bad because he was/is a nice person and could be at the top of ANYthing he put his heart/mind to, but I now know that he has a LOT to overcome to get there. I pray for him....
& yes, Evie, I MUCH prefer pt time for the reasons listed, but along with liking my job, I also have fully pd health ins, something not available to most others anymore and do make more then "minimum". I just have to seek the Lord to keep better "balanced". I still get my June vac. dates off & am letting THEM "worry" about staffing for it - I try to do my part when asked & they have always acknowledged that -I just won't get my 2 "rest up" days off before I have to return to work, sigh.
HB, hey! - nothing says it is important to "have" to get a young child into anything they aren't asking for & then even if they ask for it, to STILL ponder timing for ALL of the assorted needs concerned! - After Jordan heads off to college you'll have very different time on your hands! mc
