Update from the boring family!

I'm really kicking myself for not keeping this blog updated!!  I know I have missed several Blake-ism's and Cora-ism's over the last couple of months that I have not properly recorded!  Gosh, darn it!

What's going on with us lately?  Let's see, Blake started T-ball and already has one game in.  Cora is taking swim lessons on Saturdays and has 2 weeks left.  She absolutely loves it! 

Blake is doing very well in school.  His teacher is recommending that he be placed in the 1st/2nd grade split class for next year (if they have one).  According to his teacher, Mr. Williams, only the well behaved, independent kids who are doing "above average" are recommended for placement in this class.  So....needless to say, we are very proud! :-)

Cora is still cracking us up daily.  She has such a "matter of fact" attitude and doesn't hesitate to put you in your place (I have no idea where she gets that from! ;-))  She is a very good kid though, rarely ever gives us much trouble.  She is excited to start pre-school in the fall.  She will be going to Peace Lutheran Pre-School and will be in the morning class for three year olds.  Lately she really enjoys music and dancing, which she has for a while now.  She also likes to paint and draw and "scrapbook and make projects" with me in my scrapbooking area.

Blake also likes to make projects with us.  He has also been playing a lot of computer games lately.  It amazes me how he can navigate the computer all ready.  He does have a computers class at school once a week, so he has learned quite a bit already.  He is doing an EXCELLENT job reading.  His reading ability truly amazes me.  He can read very well and he can sound out almost any word he doesn't know.  I sure hope he keeps up with this level and love of reading!

Tom and I are both working and just keeping the household going.  I started a golf league with a girl from work, so we golf every Monday night after work.  We do it just for fun - we definitely don't have a chance of winning anything!

I'm going to try to do better with posting stuff the kids say and do.  They are so funny, entertaining and a true joy.  I'm watching them grow so fast and it scares me.  I don't want to ever forget these times of fun and innocence!!
