Here we go again...

Hi again! I'm still here. No, we didn't move away. No, our computer hasn't been broken. And no, we haven't contracted any infectious diseases.

We've just been busy with stuff. You know...kids...work...life. Stuff.

We've all enjoyed our seven week "sabbatical" from organized activities, but in last the couple weeks, we're right back in the thick of it again. I'll give you a few clues from some things lying around our house:

Will is playing baseball again. He's in a different league this year for 9 and 10 yr olds that plays 2 days a week. It's all local - so no traveling (woo hoo!). I think that the kids pitch and they actually keep score. He's liking it OK; I was a little worried since this is the first year he hasn't played for a team with his dad as the coach. They finally got "real" uniforms (no t-shirts) and their first game is next week.

Both kids are swimming again for the Spring/Summer season. They've started a new training program for the club they swim with. This has meant more hours in the pool each week, dryland training, more equipment, and some really sore muscles! We only live about 2-3 blocks from the pool - a fact that I've been extremely thankful for, since they swim in different groups and often have overlapping practices at random times on different days.

The neighbors probably wonder what the heck I'm doing as I come and go 17 times in a 4 hr period always chauffeuring a different grouping of small passengers carrying big bags.

I can't believe how fast the off-season has gone. It's almost as if the wet swimsuits and towels have never left their doors...
