I think my life is just nuts sometimes. I guess there is never a dull moment with kids especially when you have three independent little boys. This past weekend we had soccer again. It was great. Chris and I were suppose to go into Pittsburgh but his flight from Chicago was cancelled Friday night and after a morning of not getting anything resolved at O'Hare he decided to rent a car and come home. I won't go into all the details on everything that is going on here as it will take me days to type up but here is a brief sample of a few

1) I am in discussions (that is the nice way to put it) with my community to change their entire busing system as Cole was almost hit by a car last week. I am on mission to get all the routes changed and get the kids picked up and dropped off at safe locations. So far, I am doing well. I have the school board on my side. The department of transportation is not happy with me.

2) We lost Brodie this past weekend. I really should say he hid from us because he did not want to face his consequence for a bad choice. After a neighborhood search we had to call 911. We found him while we were on the phone with the dispatcher.

3) Holden has his Cardiology appointment next Wednesday



That is about it. I am really wrapped up into the transportation thing right now and that has me occupied much of the day speaking with all the city folk. Otherwise Chris is great. So happy with his job. He ran his first race a couple weeks ago and now he is hooked. He wants to do a couple more this spring. He is also coaching Cole's baseball team starting in May. Cole is great. School is ending soon and he is excited about that. I can't believe he will be in First grade next year. He still plays tennis every week, soccer and baseball starts soon. Brodie will be done with preschool in 2 weeks. He is really excited about t-ball which starts this Saturday. Holden is still the cutest thing. He melts my heart daily. He is a man of few words but we are working on that at speech therapy. Me..I am in a good place right now. I think the best way to put it is..I am not stuck anymore. I am moving forward. It feels good.

I am attaching some photos and video from the kids performances.
